Using the Configuration Menu (continued)
Advanced > DDNS
The DI-624S supports DDNS or Dynamic Domain Name Service. Dynamic DNS allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, allowing access to a specific host from various locations on the Internet. With this function enabled, remote access to a host will be allowed by choosing a URL by using the pull-down menu. Because many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, it can be difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS. For example, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can be located from the Internet if the public IP address changes.
Note: DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS servers prior to engaging it on the router. This function will not work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.
