Hello Windows Eight Forums.
Basically I would appreciate some help and advice in correctly configuring Dynamic DNS
using my DLINK DSL-3680. I am using Windows 8.1.
My first question is. Is it okay to use DDNS when I also use Anonine VPN ?
if it is okay, which IP address ahould i use when creating my DDNS Hostname using dlinkddns.com ? the one Anonine VPN gives me or my network assigned IP address for my laptop. Im finding this troublesome. id really appreciate some clear concise advice.
I need to create a Dynamic DNS and port forward on my DLINK DSL-3680.
I admit im finding this quite daunting seeing as this will be the first time ive attempted this.
Im concerned about configuring it wrongly, and creating security issues for myself on my laptop.
I used the complimentary free dynamic DNS service my DLINK DSL-3680 Router offers for all the users of their products found here dlinkddns.com.
I successfully created an account at dlinkddns.com. activated my account through the corresponding email I was sent.
I then created my new hostname. It then asked me for my IP address.
I had ANONINE VPN activated at the time so the IP address I was using was given by them.
Should I use this IP address when creating my new dlinkddns hostname ?
Ot, should I use a different IP Address, Id appreciate any help understanding this please ?
Should I create My new dlinkddns hostname with my anonine VPN turned off ?
Which IP address should I use when creating my new dlinkddns Hostname ?
Would using the IP address anonine VPN gives me when creating my dlinkddns hostname cause any security Issues for me ?
Here are my questions in a nutshell:
Is it okay to use DDNS when I also use Anonine VPN ?
Which IP address ahould i use when creating my DDNS Hostname using dlinkddns.com ?
Should I use the IP Address Anonine VPN gives me, or my network assigned IP address for my laptop ?
Should I create My new dlinkddns hostname with my anonine VPN turned off ?
When I enter my new dlinkddns Hostname onto my browsers address bar, Should it direct me to my Routers admin Log in page. the one where I need to enter my router user name and password to access my routers control panel ?
Apologies if my post struggles to to clearly explain my issues. I have tried to explain as clearly and concisely as possible.
I appreciate any help and advice given
I look forward to any replies.
Regards.
