3.3.9 Dynamic DNS
The device supports dynamic domain name service (DDNS).
The dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public IP address
to be associated with a static host name in any of the many
domains, and allows access to a specified host from various
locations on the Internet. Click a hyperlinked URL in the form
of hostname.dyndns.org and allow remote access to a host.
Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, so
locating a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS is
difficult. For example, if you are running a public web server
or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can
be located from the Internet even the public IP address
changes. DDNS requires that an account be set up with one
of the supported DDNS service providers (DyndDNS.org or
dlinkddns.com).
