Configuring the DDNS Client Parent topic

Administrators must configure some basic settings according to service vendor they choose. The information needed varies between different services. Basically, each service requires the domain name, account, and password information.
Some vendors (such as Oray and Dyn DNS) provide HTTPS connections as an option. Others (such as FreeDNS) do not expose the HTTPS interface, while DNSPod requires mandatory HTTPS connections.

Procedure

  1. Go to Network → Services → Dynamic DNS → General tab.
  2. In the Dynamic DNS dialog box, do the following information:
    1. Select the Enable Dynamic DNS check box.
    2. Select a vendor.
    3. Type Administrators Username, Password, and Domain (such as company.com). The Password field can display plain text or obscured text. Click the Hide Secret or Show Secret to change.
    4. Do one of the following:
      • For DNSPod, type the Host record (www, @, or *).
      • For Oray only, select the Service level (Free, Professional, specifyprise, or Ultimate). All non-Free services are paid services required for HTTPS connections.
    5. Select the WAN interface:
      Auto: (Default) Deep Edge auto-discovers an interface with non-private IP address according to RFC 1597
      Other: Deep Edge will always try to get public IP address from the interface.
  3. If Professional service type was selected, select Enable HTTPS connection.
  4. Click Apply.
