Download the Dyn Updater for Windows and learn about the features that Dyn Updater offers for its users. How to still get a free Dyn. DNS account. Sometime around November of last year (2. Dynamic DNS provider, Dyn. DNS severely limited their free account offerings (See reference link #1 at the bottom of the page). They eliminated new free accounts from being created, citing that users could still get the 1. Pre- existing free accounts were grandfathered in, but with 2 very important restrictions placed on them: Limited to 2 hostnames. They will expire if not updated every 3. Many existing free users found that they were dropped down to two while some had their accounts expired because they didn’t do the update within a month. Needless to say, this upset quite a few people and sparked much debate (See reference links #2,3,& 4 at the bottom of the page). I understand why they did it; they wanted to increase their profits. However, the problem was that there were many how- to guides out there that referenced Dyn. DNS’s free service; there were many hardware devices such as routers and IP cameras that were hard- wired to use Dyn. DNS. Today, I’m going to show you a loophole that still allows for you to get a free Dyn. DNS account. The Discovery. While exploring the options of my D- Link router, I came across Dynamic DNS page. Normally, I skip straight to the credentials portion at the bottom where I’ve already got my pre- existing Dyn. DNS free account setup. However, I see that D- Link offers ‘their own’ Dynamic DNS. See image: Click image to see larger view. I was curious to see if their service was any good and what limitations hey placed. Their Dynamic DNS is offered at: http: //www. I noticed something very interesting when poking around the FAQ and How- to. They say your credentials are usable at www. See attached screen shot: Click image to see larger view. To me, this says that D- Link’s service is merely a reselling of Dyn. DNS’s service. Confirmation. I created my account and then immediately popped over to Dyn. DNS’s site to see if my credentials actually worked. They did! See image: Click image to see larger view. In fact, not only did I have a free Dyn. DNS account, I actually have access to ANOTHER free hostname. As you see in the above picture, it says I’m using 0 of 1 hostname, even though I’m already using one. D- Link’s FAQ only has one question/answer and it states that you can only have 1 single hostname. Well, I’m here to tell you apparently that’s not true. You can use Dyn. DNS’s site interface to create another hostname; simply click on “Add New Hostname” and you’ll be taken to the setup screen. See screenshot: Click image to see larger view. I can tell you that my legitimate, free, grandfathered- in Dyn. DNS account doesn’t have that option. Also, once I add another hostname, the link for creating more hostnames goes away. I have a few notes of interest: Using D- Link’s Dynamic. DNS is probably only for people who purchase and use their D- Link brand routers, though it doesn’t actually state that anywhere. I don’t know if these types of accounts are applicable to the 3. I would assume so, as their assumption when they created this deal with D- Link was probably that the accounts would be used for that Dynamic DNS section in the router. This means that all active accounts will be on auto- update from the router. Conclusion. In conclusion, you can use D- Link as a proxy for creating not just one but TWO free dynamic hostnames from Dyn. DNS. So long as you keep them updated every 3. I’ve been using mine to keep a home server public facing using ddclient as my update tool. I know this loophole is one that may close to new users as well, and then at that time I’ll have to branch out to other Dynamic DNS providers; but for now, I can keep creating new hostnames if need be, just use a different email account to sign up at D- Link’s site. I don’t abuse this system. I only have need of 2 Dynamic hostnames, and that’s all I have made: my grandfathered- in account and the D- Link account. However, I like to know that I have means to create more if need be. Options are nice. Referenceshttp: //www.
