DDNS-

Dynamic Domain Name System is a method to keep domain names linked to changing IP Addresses. In this way, changing IP Addresses (e.g., via DHCP) will not interfere with network connectivity.

	is on the Internet. Enter the IP Address that you wish to Ping,
	and click Ping.
Restart Device-	Click Reboot to restart the DI-784.

Block WAN Ping- If you choose to block WAN Ping, the WAN IP Address of the DI- 784 will not respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide

Discard Ping	some extra security from hackers.
Discard Ping
from WAN side-	Click Enabled to block the WAN ping.
VPN
Pass Through-	The DI-784 supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through
	for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (IP
	Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need
	to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be
	made through the DI-784. This is useful when you have many
	VPN clients on the LAN network.
	PPTP- select Enabled or Disabled
	IPSec- select Enabled or Disabled
DDNS-	Fill in the required fields to use the Dynamic Domain Name Ser-
	vice (DDNS) feature.	38
