GuardMoony Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 No-ip is optional. But you need to use it regularly or it expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 You can have your router auto login and update. Or use their computer client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardMoony Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 yes you can do that. But they check how many times the dns names gets a lookup. and it thats to low, you get a mail to see if you still want it active. If you don't click the link keep active the dns will be removed the next month it checks. So its a pretty good system but not if you only use the dns a few times a year.

Mr-Protocol Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Not sure on that usage one. If it works like DynDNS then it's just account activity. Time will tell, I picked up a no-ip one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynDns was the exact same way for the free accounts. You would recieve an email about 5 days before the end of the month asking if you would like to keep your hostnames active for the next month. So not really any different from No-IP, except No-IP allows 5 hostnames on the free accounts instead of DynDns' 2 hostnames for a free account. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THCMinister Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have used no-ip for some time and have had no issues. DD-WRT has the login info to update it on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
