The script is probably more efficient but significantly less consumable to me (I would not be willing to try to translate this to windows) then ping -c1 || pull down and up I read somewhere else. Actually I have some more cases in my script, but cannot include them because the client is sleeping (and the router has an issue with wol right now). I guess my script is less adaptable and supports just one client, but does the trick.
Please, please, please - there must be a better place to do this automatically without extra scripting..
Thanks, Joachim

This is really standard for internet services in Germany offered to non-business users, or also business that prefer not the pay extra charges for the assignment of a static ip address. My IP address changes at least once a day (usually between 1 am and 2 am). Usually one uses a dyndns provider, and many routers support updating the ip address automatically. As I am running my external DNS with cloudflar, I am calling their API to update my external address.

Ahhh, the DNS re-resolution issue. On linux we have this nice script:

On windows, it should be pretty easy to do as well. You can actually just use task scheduler to run `wg set wg0 peer ABCD...EF= endpoint somewhere.on.dyndns:1234` every minute or whatever you feel is best.
