Accessing your home network remotely with DynDNS
With Dynamic DNS (DynDNS), you can define your own web address for remote access to your home network. We show you how.
Every Internet router is assigned a new IP address on a regular basis. With a dynamic DNS service, you can use persistent credentials instead of the IP address to access your router when away from home. For example, if you are using a Network Access Server (NAS) and want to access movies and photos stored on your home network.

Using Swisscom DynDNS**
You define your Swisscom DynDNS web address in My Swisscom. Once you have done this, you can then use this address instead of your Internet IP address to access your router – for example, when using remote VPN access.
Using a different DynDNS provider
Log into the router portal, go to expert mode and, under Network > DynDNS, activate the DynDNS from the provider. If you have any questions, please contact your chosen DNS provider. Other settings that you can configure in the router portal include port forwarding, static IP addresses, DMZ functions or IPv6. If you are a business customer and use a Centro Business router, please follow the Setting up DynDNS instructions.
