4.1.3 DDNS Service
DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to
connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or
dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on
your ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what
your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your device over the Internet.
One of the possible solutions to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a
dynamic DNS service.
