Internet. DDNS provides a simple, and in most cases free, solution.
The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates then
into IP addresses. Domain names, such as www.yahoo.com, are just easy to
remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service provides a
means of updating your IP address so that you listing will be current when
your IP address changes. There are several services on the Internet that are
available for free. We will only cover one, www.dyndns.org. You will need to
register with the service and setup a domain of your choice from the list they
provide for you.
The DDNS service in our device works by uploading your new WAN IP
address to the servers when it changes. You would only need to enter the
account information in the DDNS setup page of your unit.
