Dynamic DNS
The Router supports Dynamic DNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS
service allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of
the many domains, allowing access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet.
This is enabled to allow remote access to a host by clicking a hyperlinked URL in the form
hostname.dyndns.org, Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, and this can
make it difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using standard DNS. If for example you are
running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, this ensures that the host can be
located from the Internet if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be
setup with one of the supported DDNS providers.
