| + | |||
| + | Into the text field following Other you must enter one of the following: | ||
| + | * A URL to a dynamic DNS update server that complies to dyndns.org original [[http://dyn.com/support/developers/api/|update API]], e.g. ''update_server.provider.com'' | ||
| + | * A URL followed by :port if that server does not use standard port 80 | ||
| + | * A URL followed by a GET string to send to that URL, with %s marking the spot where to insert unit's global IP address, e.g. \\ ''update_server.provider.com:88 GET update?host=myurl.provider.com&myip=%s HTTP/1.0'' \\ If you specify such a GET string values in fields Hostname, User and Password will be ignored and must be manually included into the GET string. | ||
| - | If an account has not been updated for 35 days, dyndns.org removes it from its lists. The dynamic DNS client in your product updates accounts every 25 days, even if the IP address have not changed. However, the update timing might become disturbed if the product is turned off. | ||
| - | If your IP address has not changed during the last 25 days, it might be a good idea to change your account type into Static DNS. Read more about [[http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/statdns/|DynDNS Static DNS service]]. | ||
