Sure, I can help clarify this. You're looking to connect your local IP address with specific DNS addresses and see what devices appear in your browser's results when you type a domain name outside your network. It’s possible if someone has set up a connection or redirect that maps those domains to your local IP. Just make sure the setup is intentional and not malicious. Let me know if you need more details!

It's feasible. Focus on researching Fully Qualified Domain Names, or FQDNs. The provided link offers guidance on creating an IP address fully qualified.

You're looking for a web page with a domain to list your internal devices. There are several issues with this approach. You can only operate one service per port, so connecting from outside won't work unless the target service is running. For example, PLEX uses a different port than standard services like 80 or 443 (SSL). Each device you want to connect needs its own service on a unique port. Additionally, this method doesn’t automatically reveal internal IP addresses. From a security perspective, it’s a poor idea, and you’d need custom code to gather and display active devices from your network.

I understand, I believe that idea is a bit silly. Running an OpenVPN server might be simpler and offers better security from a standpoint.

It’s a solid suggestion, though not the safest option. Using a tool like DynDNS for automatic IP changes would really improve reliability.
