Thank you. It really was that simple
I do this on my home network which has a Dynamic IP. I wrote a script which I cron to check and update it if it changes https://github.com/MajesticTechie/CloudflareDynamicDNS
I do this with the dynamic dns plugin in OPNsense. It really is set-it-and-forget-it.
Note that most wireguard clients wont re-resolve when the dns entry changes and they will keep silently a failed tunnel so you would have to do some measure to periodically restart the tunnel.
It is that easy, like you said. And with Cloudflare and Caddy you can get TLS for your internal VPN hosts. I love that.
Yup! This is what I do! Love it so much
