Before I subscribe to NextDNS I have some questions about updating my IP address.

My provider uses CGNAT so I'm on a shared dynamic ip address which I believe would make it difficult to use a ddns service in Nextdns settings as I wouldn't be able to open any ports without issues.

They do offer a static IP so my IP won't change although I'd prefer not to pay the £5 extra a month for this.

I also have Eero 6+ routers provided by my network provider and I would also rather not pay extra for eero plus subscription to use dynamic DNS.

I also don't have a computer that I could leave on all of the time for updates.

Is there any way that I can update my IP automatically rather than relying on my constantly checking for any change.

So far I've been really happy with NextDNS.

Thank you.

Hi, before I make an appointment with a financial advisor I would like some advice first please to prepare myself so I'm not going in blind as I really have no idea.

I'm 63 and retirement date is January 2030 at 67 although I would like to finish if possible at 65 as with being a manual worker since 16 things are getting really hard on the body these days. I currently have been working the same job for 24 years with a local government pension. Predicted lgps summary to date at pension age of 67 is £14,500 annual pension with a lump sum of £6,300 With maximum lum sum it is £9,600 annual pension with lump sum of £64,140. If I were to take this at age 65 it's currently predicted to be Annual pension £12,700 with a Lump sum £6476.54 With maximum lump sum at age 65 it's £8504.32 Maximum lump sum £56695.46

I also have a small prudential pension due to mature next year, current value £17,000, I'm thinking that it may be better to cash this in or invest it as the pension prediction is very poor.

I also have an older sips (shipbuilding industry pension) current value of £79,000, predicted pension at age 65 when it matures is £4000 annually with tax free lump sum or £27,000

Financially I have premium bonds of £35,000 and an inheritance to come once the house has sold approximately £80,000.

I don't want to have to struggle financially when I finish and into pension age, so if it's best to continue until I receive the state pension to top it up then I will.

Thank you if anyone can provide any useful information and I hope I've provided all necessary information needed

I forgot to add that my current wage after tax, ni and pension is just under £2000 a month that I can manage comfortably and save a little each month.
