Hi,
Looking at my router, I see the possibility of setting up dynamic DNS service, for accessing my home from outside. My router offers these:
DynDns.org TZO No-IP
Do you have comments on any of those?
I have used no-ip for years. They offered a lifetime dns for us$9 some years after I first started which would not have advertisements, and constant heckling to upgrade. I jumped on. Then another couple of years they told me my service needed to be upgraded to subscription, that the plan I had was being discontinued. I replied with a copy of my $9 "lifetime" service and told them they had a contract with me they needed to honor. After some more banter back and forth, they agreed to provide me another 30 years service at no additional cost. I accepted thinking that things may change drastically in that time-frame (another 20+ years) and being already in my late 60's (at that time), I may not have much need then.
Using the configuration on the router would save me from setting up some daemon in Linux. Should be easier, right? If not, I'm of course open to other possibilities.
I run a simple daemon script they provided (freely available) and have only updated it once. Easy to set-up, not difficult at all, prompts for info and does it's thing. And my router, cisco/logitech (and several netgears) support dyndns but not no-ip. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
