DynDNS when to use, how it works?

Dear Experts,



I would like to know what is DynDNS and give any appropriate example for its use. What understanding I have right now is that it is used when we do not have a real IP , and we want to reach our remote device for example camera then this service is used.



I have confusion that this DynDNS works with Dynamic Public IP addresses OR it also works when there is a Dynamic Private IP?



I have a DSL connection at home and the private IP in my DSL modem on WAN port changes when ever there is a disconnection OR reboot of modem. If I have a IP camera connected to one of the Ethernet ports at back of my modem how it can be reached when there is no real IP.



Please guide me.



Thanks %26amp; Regards,

A dynamic DNS service will only resolve to your publicly visible IP - to get access to devices behind your NAT you'll need to configure port forwarding appropriately on your router. Typically, you will also need a computer behind it to periodically update the dynamic DNS server as to your current IP but some routers can be configured to do this for themselves.DynDNS when to use, how it works?
DNS is a service that maps host names to the IP address.



Static DNS entries are used for host names where the IP Address never changes



Dynamic DNS entries are used for host names where the IP address is Dynamically assigned. Dynamically assigned IP Addresses are %26quot;real%26quot; they are just not permanently associated to the same machine. They may change over time.DynDNS when to use, how it works?
Our DynDNS service allows you to have a hostname, such as wajeeh.dyndns.org, that maps to the current external IP address for your location. You can use the update client in your router, or download our software client to keep the IP address up-to-date: http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/



Once you do that, you're set with our services. If you're having problems connecting to your device/server after setting this up, check out our troubleshooting guide:
