3.22 Utilities – DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows you to provide Internet users with a fixed domain name (instead of
an IP address which may periodically change). This allows your gateway and applications set up
in your gateway's virtual servers to be accessed from various locations on the Internet without
knowing your current IP address.
Requirements
In order to use DDNS you must first create an account with a DDNS provider. The DDNS
provider maps your chosen domain name to your IP address.
