Why bother with connecting through the IP at all? Do yourself a favor and set up a simple free DDNS for your external IP. Most likely your router can keep it automatically updated, if not plenty of small tools exist for it such as
ddclient
.And even better, if you also use SRV records for Teamspeak in your DNS, then you dont even need to specify the port number anymore.
You can turn this
142.16.420.69:56610
into justmyteamspeak.dedyn.io
and done. Much nicer and easier to tell people to use when they want to join your server.Normally I have set up a domain of which the records get updated through cloudflare from my router, however I wanted to exclude the delay the router has before updating the domain and the caching of DNS as potential sources for this issue :)
