[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2883905, member: 29706"] I use [URL]https://freedns.afraid.org/[/URL] and then put a script in my FreeNAS cron to update the IP every so often. It gives me a subdomain off of one of their free ones. I then have a cname set to forward one of my subdomains to it. Some routers have dynamic dns service stuff in them but a lot of the ones that used to be free went to a paid version. If you can setup a cron to run on a *nix device to update or have your router flashed to different firmware that has other providers available. But then I do everything via hostname and since the box that will be at my stepdaughters will be FreeBSD based I already have a cron up and ready, just have to put in the port forward. Did I mention I am a major geek? I enjoy jokes like: There is no place like 127.0.0.1 There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
