The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (www.yourname.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, you can enter your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.
Note
Dynamic DNS is not supported with IPv6.
Enable Dynamic DNS: Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
Client Status: Indicates whether you have configured a dynamic DNS with Internet provider. You must have a dynamic DNS configured with an Internet provider to use this feature.

Custom Server (DynDNS clone)
Custom Server Address. Only available if you select Custom Server from the Server Address drop-down menu. Enter your custom DynDNS clone server address here. For example: www.mydyndns.org.

Host name: Enter your host name, fully qualified. For example: myhost.mydomain.net.
User name: Enter the user name or key provided by the dynamic DNS service provider. If the dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that key for both the User name and Password fields.
Password: Enter the password or key provided by the dynamic DNS service provider.
