11.3. Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
This free service is very useful when combined with the
Virtual Server (Port Forwarding) feature. It allows Internet
users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather
than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address.
With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change
whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to
you.
DDNS Services work as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.
2. After registration, follow the Service provider's procedure to obtain your desired Domain name.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the device’s DDNS screen, and enable the DDNS feature.
4. The Wireless Router will automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at the DDNS service provider's Domain Name Server.
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
