DDNS CLIENT OVERVIEW
DDNS is a service that provides the capability for a network device to perform
DDNS updates to ensure that an IP host DNS name is correctly associated with
its IP address.
In general, WAN IP address is dynamic, and it becomes very difficult to access the
network device with WAN IP whenever there is any change in the IP address.
DDNS updates the WAN IP address in DNS server, so, it facilitates to access
device from WAN side by using the unique domain name.
