DDNS
The DDNS Settings page is used to configure dynamic DNS services for DynDNS and

specific host name to their computer’s dynamically assigned IP address. DDNS
allows your host name to follow your IP address automatically by changing your
DNS records when your IP address changes. To set up an DDNS account, visit the
web sites of these service providers at www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com.

provided by your DDNS service provider, and click Apply.
