Is the end of free DDNS for many

If you do not know what is < a href = "http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=sk&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.sk&sl=en&u=http://www.tudovemdachina.com/en/tag/ddns/&usg=ALkJrhhsDX8_j5lBs_LUeQDrST9T-X9gfw" rel = "tag" > DDNS possibly never tried to access your computer from home or from work via internet. Systems such as Windows Remote Desktop, VNC or any other work well, but logically no need to know the IP address of the computer.

As the IP of a computer is usually variable, Depending on the provider, the only way to ensure access is to make some device in your network (modem, router, camera or PC) update the IP address in a server on the internet. This service is known as DDNS.

Let the own PC to update the IP address is a problem. You need to leave the computer connected. Anyone want to do that. If the modem can do this job would be great, Since this is a device that is always on and connected to the internet.

Where the problem. Most modems, including several from DLINK and TPLINK, include support only to the DDNS server of the company DynDNS. This company now in may 2014 closed the free service. In other words, millions of consumers have bought, in these last 10 years, famous manufacturers routers will no longer support this basic service.

There are more or less three years DynDNS It became simply Dyn and announced several restrictions to users free. At the time said they would not charge, just decrease the free support. Without problems, We understand! But when the company decided to close all the free support many users were orphans.

My DLINK router, for example, does not support DDNS from another server in addition to the DynDNS. Many devices are so. No one imagined that the company, that has been in existence since 1998, would end with the free support something as simple and basic.

The address of my computer was “adrianomm.dyndns.tv”, that automatically redirected to my main PC giving me access to the archives, remote desktop, cameras and other nonsense. Now when I enter the DynDNS server asks me to “Checkout to activate”. In other words, pay!

Remains so find other servers, in return for a bit of propaganda accept do this tiny work of manages and redirection. I can't understand how the Gmail gives me 15 GB of free data and the DynDNS can't make money the same way. Even this blogger who speaks to you make money with advertising!

To continue using the DynDns has to pay $ 25 per year. Is little, but the service also not worth much for all.

But there's no point complaining. Who wants to continue to have free DDNS will have to find a new firmware for your modem or so leave the computer connected even.

Over time new routers and cameras should come with support for other servers, as the no-ip, for example, that's still free. For now.

  4. Marcio, Adriano's right, as he said in the title of the post, “for many” not all… The access is being limited to only some models, so, If you had your registered account but your model is not in the list of supported, your account will be terminated in 90 days of 7/14/2014… I have this problem and have searched because I use a lot of service and I'm going to be on hand for caus to this bullshit…
