How to Configure Dynamic DNS

Description: If your WAN IP address changes regularly, you can configure the external interface to use a dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. Using Dynamic DNS, you can ensure that the firewall is accessible even when it is provisioned with a dynamic IP address. When the firewall receives a new IP address, it contacts the Dynamic DNS service and updates the public DNS name with the new address. Using DDNS, the public DNS name will always point to the correct IP address.

Currently, we support the following third-party DDNS providers as well as Custom DDNS:

DynDNS

No-IP

EasyDNS

Namecheap

ZoneEdit
