You may be able to enter several providers one after the other. Since I don’t use external Dyndns, I can’t test this.

@Rehli take a look at this video, it explains well how it works.

@hed: several one after the other just doesn’t work. It would be cool if Swisscom were included on the list of development priorities.

@kaetho: great, I’ll try that and get involved - thanks for the video!

@kaetho

Thanks for the information regarding CNAME and the video.

I would like to use ‘meindedomain.ch’ as ​​the address (enter it in the browser and display it, etc.).

With a CNAME record I always need a prefix -> “praefix.meinedomain.ch”

What solutions are there so that I can use my domain without a prefix, as is usual?

Thank you in advance for any solutions

@Rehli I’m not there yet. I would have to ask more questions or google it.

This doesn’t work the way you want to do it. According to RFC1034: “If a CNAME RR is present at a node, no other data should be present; this ensures that the data for a canonical name and its aliases cannot be different.” For the second level domain there will certainly be SOA, NS, MX and, depending on the circumstances, other records. Ie. you need to choose a hostname (or what you call a prefix) for the CNAME.

I created the Swisscom DynDNS and I have the address, but I cannot access the router on the move.

Any suggestion pls?

Thank you

Similar here. Gave the router a specific name under Swisscom DynDNS, but I don’t know what to type into the URL-bar of the Webbrowser to call up the Router with given name remotely.

Hello

To perform this operation as indicated you must create a VPN on the internet box follow the following link.

Certain DNS providers (e.g. Cloudflare) support this feature, although it is not standard. You can also make CNAME entries for root domains. See here.

@Rehli

My setup: Domain purchased from Hostpoint. In Hostpoint you can configure external name servers and thus make your DNS entries in Cloudflare. Since CNAME is supported for root domains, your problem would be solved. Because then you can simply make a CNAME entry for example.ch –> *.internet-box.ch.

Could I have the list of DDNS supported by the Internet-Box 2 router?, thank you very much.

there are no DynDNS lists, it does not depend on the Internet-Box model used

if it works and is available in the router management, the DNS names can be configured

simply follow the instructions provided in this chapter

Use DynDNS from Swisscom

Activate expert mode. To start using a DNS name you must activate this feature and store the chosen name in the web portal. The name can then be used wherever the IP address is required. Mainly these are remote access services, for example VPN.

❗ Swisscom DynDNS may not be used for commercial purposes ❗

I cannot activate DynDNS or press save on the Swisscom service. What could that be about? Greeting

Hello @Teimpeickeu47

Xy.internet-box.ch

Greetings Lorenz

@Teimpeickeu47 if you use the Dyndns service from Swisscom the host name is:

Your desired name.internet-box.ch.

With the placeholder “Your desired name” you can use any name that is still available.

However, this service must be activated and created by you.

You can then access your router via this address, but this is not secure. You can also use the VPN service

I noticed that with activated dynDNS from Swisscom you get direct access to the IP address. This concerns me as I also have a server on my network.

I have dynDNS with Cloudflare, where you can activate dynDNS with proxy, but Cloudflare is not compatible as a provider for the Swisscom router.

Is there any solution how you can activate dynDNS with Swisscom without leaking your IP address to the Internet?

Kind regards

Hello @Taripeuth40

You have a subdomain, anyone who pings this subdomain knows what your IP address is.

If you have servers in your home network, you only have to forward the ports that your server needs.

If there is a web server it is 80, 443.

Then your server redirects the request from 80 to 443 to https.

Or you have a PF-Sense where you can configure different networks.

Hi @Taripeuth40

I think DynDNS is the wrong approach to your problem

Your public IPv4 address does not have to be leaked, it is, as the name suggests, public.

Whether access to CloudFlare goes through a tunnel to your server doesn’t matter from a security perspective, unless you have “DDoS” in your thread model or pay for the WAF (although I’m a bit allergic to the word WAF ). Security by obscurity doesn’t work.

If it is a problem that everyone can find a service on the Internet, then it should not be on the Internet 😉. Because this will also be found without DynDNS.

If you just want to access your home network, use the VPN function from IB or, for example, Tailscale
