Dynamic DNS

A dynamic DNS service is useful when you don’t have a static Internet IP address, but need to remain contactable by hosts on the Internet. Dynamic DNS service providers such as TZO.com and dyndns.org can register an Internet domain name that will point to your Internet IP address no matter how often it changes.

Whenever its Internet IP address changes, the CyberGuard SG appliance will alert the dynamic DNS service provider so the domain name records can be updated appropriately.

First, create an account with the dynamic DNS service provider of your choice. Click the red TZO logo if you wish to take advantage of the 30 day free trial with TZO.

Next, select your chosen Dynamic DNS service and click Continue. Select which interface/connection’s IP address you want associated with your newly created DNS name from Internet Connection. Enter the details provided by your dynamic DNS service provider and click Apply to enable.
