DDNS
To set up a server on the Internet and enable the users to connect to it easily, a fixed and easy-to-
remember host name is often required. However, if the ISP provides only dynamic IP address, the
IP address of the server will change from time to time and is difficult to recall. You can enable the
DDNS service to solve the problem.
After enabling the DDNS service of the NAS, whenever the NAS restarts or the IP address is
changed, the NAS will notify the DDNS provider immediately to record the new IP address. When
the user tries to connect to the NAS by the host name, the DDNS will transfer the recorded IP
address to the user.
The NAS supports the DDNS providers: http://www.dyndns.com/, http://update.ods.org/, http://
www.dhs.org/, http://www.dyns.cx/, http://www.3322.org/, http://www.no-ip.com/.
For the information of setting up the DDNS and port forwarding on the NAS, see here .
