How to Configure Dynamic DNS
1. Log in to the firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User
Name of
admin , default password of password , or using whatever password and LAN
address you have chosen for the firewall.
2. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click Dynamic DNS.
3. Access the website of one of the dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the
‘Select Service Provider’ box, and register for an account.
For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.
4. Select the “Use a dynamic DNS service” check box.
5. Select the name of your dynamic DNS Service Provider.
6. Type the Host Name that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
The dynamic DNS service provider may call this the domain name. If your URL is
myName.dyndns.org, then your Host Name is “myName.”
7. Type the User Name for your dynamic DNS account.
8. Type the Password (or key) for your dynamic DNS account.
9. If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you may
select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same
IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org
10. Click Apply to save your configuration.
11. You can now check the status of the Dynamic DNS connection by clicking Show Status.
Note: If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the
dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on the
Internet.
