What do you mean by private here ? Care to elaborate a little ?

1. If you want to secure it you ca use token authentication for playback
2. What you have suggested is dns mapping (like a dns A record). This does not make the content secure / private.

I believe that is dns Record. If that is your public IP you need t create a DNS A mapping in your domain management panel to map the IP to the FQDN. See this [https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/a-record/](https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/a-record/)

In addition to what @Connessione is saying, which is 100% correct:

To go from ip address to a domain name, you would need dns. If it’s a private ip address, then you would need a private dns system on your local network.
