4-11 DDNS Settings
Dynamic Domain Naming Service is a feature which allows your router to notify an Internet
DNS server of your assigned public IP address. The Internet DNS server can then assign a
choosen domain name with your router's public IP address this allocation will then propagate to
other DNS servers on the internet. This is a useful way of allowing people to know your
router's currently assigned Public IP address by referencing your fixed domain name. It is also
useful if you allow remote configuration and need to access your router remotely without
knowing its assigned WAN IP.
Steps to configure DDNS:
1. You must first visit www.dyndns.org and register a domain name from a list of choices.
2. Enable the DDNS service and enter the registered Username, Password and HostName.
3. Click on Apply to save your settings.
4. DDNS is now configured completely. Your choosen HostName will point to your ISP
assigned Public (WAN) IP address automatically.
4-12 VPN Passthrough
Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is a system which allows remote networks to privately
exchange data over an existing public network (usually the Internet). One VPN client can be
used to make one VPN connection (Tunnel) to a VPN Server on the Internet. The NetComm
NB2800 Router supports one single session VPN Passthrough (PPTP or L2TP/IPSec). There is
no configuration necessary for VPN Passthrough.
