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 think dyndns.org was turned into dyn.com which was recently bought by Oracle, god knows why.
I hope my router knows that, or the setup will not work.

:-)) Noted, but my router doesn't know that one. In that case, it means running "something" in a computer in the LAN. How does "something" notice that the outside address has changed? I know that the IP can be found, but tracking the instant that it changes is not that trivial unless there is an active connection. I can only imagine periodically testing the IP, and communicating the change when found.
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.
It depends on how configurable your router is - if you can add your own update string etc, running it on the router is fine.
As far as I know, no, it is not. The config is: DDNS provider : DynDns.org Hostname [ ] Interface 6/ppp0.1 DynDNS Settings Username [ ] Password [ ] .-.- DDNS provider : TZO Hostname [ ] Interface 6/ppp0.1 TZO Settings Email [ ] Key [ ] .-.- DDNS provider : No-IP Hostname [ ] Interface 6/ppp0.1 No-IP DDNS Settings Username [ ] Password [ ] -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
