The  router  supports  DDNS  (Dynamic  Domain  Name  Service).  The  Dynamic  DNS  service  allows  a  dynamic  public  IP 
address  to  be  associated  with  a  static  host  name  in  any  of  the  many  domains,  allowing  access  to  a  specified  host  from 
various  locations  on  the  Internet.  This  is  enabled  to  allow  remote  access  to  a  host  by  clicking  a  hyperlinked  URL  in  the 
form “hostname.dyndns.org”.  Many  ISPs  assign  public  IP  addresses  using  DHCP,  this  can  make  it  difficult  to  locate 
a  specific  host  on  the  LAN  using  standard  DNS.  If  for  example  you  are  running  a  public  web  server  or  VPN  server  on 
your  LAN,  this  ensures  that  the  host  can  be  located  from  the  Internet  if  the  public  IP  address  changes.  DDNS  requires 
that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS providers.
