Password
This setting specifies the password for the dynamic DNS service.
Hosts
This setting specifies a list of hostnames to be associated with the
public Internet IP address of the WAN connection.
Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate hostname registration(s), as well as a
valid account with a supported dynamic DNS service provider are required.
Due to the policy of dynamic DNS service providers, the dynamic DNS host may be
expired automatically because it has not been updated for a period. In order to prevent
this expiration, PePLink Balance will perform a force update every 23 days if a WAN’s IP
address did not changed.
