the time of writing, this is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is currently supported.
Hostname
This is the hostname of the KVM OVER IP SWITCH that is provided by the Dynamic DNS
Server. (Use the whole name including the domain, e.g. testserver.dyndns.org not just the
actual hostname).

You have registered this username during your manual registration with the Dynamic DNS
Server. Spaces are not allowed in the nickname.

5.5.3 Security
Force HTTPS
If this option is enabled, access to the web front-end is only possible using an HTTPS
connection. The KVM OVER IP SWITCH will not listen on the HTTP port for incoming
connections.
If you want to create your own SSL certificate that is used to identify the KVM OVER IP
SWITCH please refer to the section called Certificate on page 45.
KVM encryption
This option controls the encryption of the RFB protocol. RFB is used by the Remote Console to
transmit both the screen data to the administrator’s machine and the keyboard and mouse data
back to the host. If set to Off no encryption will be used. If set to Try, the applet tries to make an
encrypted connection. If connection establishment fails for any reason an unencrypted
connection will be used. If set to Force the applet tries to make an encrypted connection. An
error will be reported if connection establishment fails.
Group-based System Access Control
This is the IP filtering function, it keeps unauthorized hosts from accessing to the IP-KVM by
specifying IP filtering rules. It is important to fully understand what an IP filter is. If you don't fully
understand this, you will get unexpected results against your original plan.
