dynamic ip - TTL/manual update?

[perler]

we are planning on hosting servers at hetzner cloud. to avoid the cost of "floating IP" (their name for a static IP) we enabled dynamic IP and forced an IP change.

how long should we wait until this change distributes and is there a manuel update functionality?

DNS is hosted at clodflare.

I think you've got that wrong. A floating IP is a floating IP, not Hetzner's name for a static IP. Different things.

AFAIK a static IP is included as standard with Hetzner cloud.

I use Hetzner Cloud and I have neither a floating nor a dynamic IP, because there is no need for either in simple setups.

Never really got why so many people use Cloudflare, mostly seems to just add complications and break things, and contributes to massive centralisation of the internet

I'm using their DNS proxying to hide my home server IP address. I don't know of any alternatives. Especially one that has DNS proxying AND is already added to Cloudron (for automating DNS).
