Dynamic DNS update settings

A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service allows a user whose IP address is dynamically assigned to be

located by a host or domain name. Before a DDNS service may be used, you must create an

account with the DDNS service provider. The provider will give you account information such as

username and password. You will use this account information to register your IP address and

update it as it changes.

A DDNS service provider typically supports the registration of only public IP addresses. When

using such a service provider, if your Digi device has a private IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or

10.x.x.x), your update requests will be rejected.

The Digi device monitors the IP address it is assigned. It will typically update the DDNS service or

server automatically, but only when its IP address has changed from the IP address it previously

registered with that service.

DDNS service providers may consider frequent updates to be an abuse of their service. In such a

circumstance, the service provider may act by blocking updates from the abusive host for some

period of time, or until the customer contacts the provider. Please observe the requirements of the

DDNS service provider to ensure compliance with possible abuse guidelines.

The Dynamic DNS Update Settings page includes both settings and status information.

save that change.
