ADVANCED - DDNS
The Router supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS service allows a
dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains,
allowing access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet. This is enabled to allow
remote access to a host by clicking a hyperlinked URL in the form hostname.dyndns.org, Many ISPs
assign public IP addresses using DHCP, and this can make it difficult to locate a specific host on the
LAN using standard DNS. If for example you are running a public web server or VPN server on your
LAN, this ensures that the host can be located from the Internet if the public IP address changes.
DDNS requires that an account be set up with one of the supported DDNS providers.
