6.3  Dynamic DNS 

 

This free service is very useful when combined with the 

Virtual Server

 feature. It allows Internet users to 

connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. 

This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address 

may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you. 

 

DDNS Services work as follows: 

1.  You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers. 

2.  After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your desired Domain name. 

3.  Enter your DDNS data on the WN-300ARM-VPN's DDNS screen, and enable the DDNS feature. 

4.  The WN-300ARM-VPN will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at the 

DDNS service provider's Domain Name Server. 

5.  From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using your Domain 

name, as shown on this screen.
