Description
Dynamic DNS has the ability to fetch the public IP via e.g. a service like dyndns.org. However, unless the IP on WAN is detected as being a "private IP", this check is not made in this way. The assumption is rather made that the WAN IP is valid and the one to be used.
Adding a checkbox to "force fetching public IP" would add beneficial in some cases.
One such case is solving an issue with UPnP not playing ball when WAN IP is RFC 1918. Using a random public IP, on the upstream router (for example a 5G router) solves this issue.
