I want to route my dynamic ip to a subdomain on my domain. is this possible?
i know i would need a dynamicDNS client but where would i route it.
It depends on the client you use, but it’s not really a question for this Community.
As Matteo said, it’s possible and the Cloudflare API supports it. You’d just have to find out from the DDNS app vendor how to do so.

are there any clients you reccomend?
Sorry, I’ve only hand-coded my own shell scripts to do this.
#!/bin/csh
set ipadr = `ipconfig getifaddr en1`
curl -X PUT "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/ZONE_ID/dns_records/RECORD_ID" \
-H "X-Auth-Email: [email protected]" \
-H "X-Auth-Key: GLOBAL_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"type":"A","name":"sub.example.com","content":"'${ipadr}'","ttl":1,"proxied":false}'
echo ""

You should really use an API Token, now, though.

That script was from many years ago.

Please note that my script was for an internal private IP address. You’d have to call something like:
curl -4 icanhazip.com
to get your public IP address.
