BT Smarthub 2 - DDNS Service providers

grahaml — Tue, 28 May 2024 10:48:35 GMT

The dropdown list of DDNS service providers for the hub is limited for access to free accounts which are of benefit to home (non business) users.The listed DNS-O-Matic is no longer available and the other providers listed that do offer free service require regular, annoying confirmation. Although running a DDNS update client on a network machine is an option it is not an ideal option when this feature at hub is available.

Is it possible to to add say....Dynu (which doesn't expire) to the list or even have a custom option?

Thanks

this isn't a business post, it's for home use...in particular accessing a home network when away or on holiday for access to music, photo and video libraries.

@grahaml

You are better off paying the yearly cost for a DDNS service, I use No-IP and its very reliable.

You can test it out with a free account to start with, which you need to logon each month, and see if its what you need.
