Did you try no ip? I would give you the link but eveytime I try to post it the post says <<<spam>>> for some reason..

Something moronic Neowin does for links. Thanks :) I read about no-ip

freedns.afraid.org is pretty good

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

To those that posted (and will post more) is there any reason I should use that one instead of another? Im also located in West Europe if it makes differences for speed :)

No, he's talking about updating a DNS server to point at a dynamic IP address.

Useful for making a domain name for home connections :)

I'm still using DynDNS because I'm OLD :p Works great, but that's not much help for you :\

Static IP, No-IP and others (unfortunately not many routers have native clients) or I believe that you can sign up for trial using credit card, and then you can choose to change Trial to Free.

Well I think DynDNS has just a free trial for 14 days. I perfer something free "premanent"

are you talking about options like:

google's public DNS ? 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

Or openDNS ?

No, Im talking about having a DNS updated my FQDN with my dynamic IP.

Yeah :( Shame they went the paying route.

"Check in" what sense? I have to send them a email or something?

That's how mine works, 30 days and I get an email, except I installed the "DynUpdater" client on my server, so it just does it for me >.<

I have no idea if it's still available. Not going to let mine lapse in that case :p

I think they send you an email every 30 days, and you have to simply click on a link to verify you are still actively using their free stuff.

DD-WRT might be able to do it automatically :)

Thanks to all. No-ip it is I guess.

http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-pro-free-trial/

It is a DynDNS Pro trial for 14-days (Need CC to sign up), then "If you decide not to continue with Pro,just cancel your Pro trial within the first 14 days and you will not be charged. You may keep one hostname free of charge for trying the Pro Trial." so the one free hostname for trying is the same as the old DynDNS Free, "permanently". It probably has the same 30-day expiry rules but an auto-update client would negate that as it did before.

Who is your domain registered with? if its namecheap they have a free dynamic dns service that will update your domain for you.

Its also supported in the Tomato custom firmware for routers, unsure about DD-WRT.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
