Server online indicator, and what causes disconnect?

[Calvino]

In the client / server configuration, I get messages that say the server is disconnected. Is there a way to make a visual indicator on the page that the server is on or offline at any particular moment?

I'm also interested in whether the reason it goes offline might be an IP change at the ISP, which is handled by Dynamic DNS. Coupled with sef-signed SSL, this can be a little difficult because the browser will put a block on the address, which can only be manually undone by mucking around with the "HSTS" settings (difficult in Chrome, easier in FFox)

It may help sharing which server are you using?

Eg Bob, Bob.exe, Tiddly-server, simple Node?...

I don't know why they charge so much for static IP Addresses? I think its mean.

Since tiddlywiki can live inside the browser the possibility the IP address changing underneath is possibly a problem, unless the saver you use uses an Domain name address that updates with the change in IP Address, eg captured using a Dynamic DNS,
