Our Remote Access solution allows you to choose a unique hostname (ex: MyHome.dyndns.org) and link it to any IP-compatible device (router, webcam, security camera, DVR, thermostat, computer, file storage, etc.). As the IP addresses used to access these devices change, Dyn takes care of updating it for you, ensuring you are always connected.
Using Dyn’s dynamic DNS (DDNS) eliminates the headache and human error associated with tracking ever-changing IP addresses and allows you to avoid the alternative of purchasing pricey static IPs.
By enabling Dyn’s Remote Access, you can...
- Retrieve files and applications from anywhere
- Monitor a home security system
- Provide tech support to remote computers
- Access a home automation solution
Disclaimer: Technical support for any IP-compatible device is not included in the Remote Access product. Please refer to manufacturer manuals for all device specific setup and user interface accessibility.
Setting Up Remote Access in Just a Few Steps
Required Before Setup:
- Connect the device to your home router

Popular Devices With DDNS Included:

- Linksys
- Cisco
- Honeywell
- Foscam
- Netgear
- Asus
- Comcast
- Sonic Wall (Dell)
- Panasonic
Quick Setup Instructions:
- Sign-up for a Dyn.com account and purchase Remote Access. If you have an account and/or have already purchased, simply log-in.
- Once logged into the interface, navigate to "DynDNS Pro" and then "Add New Hostname" to create a new web address that will be linked to your device (ex: [email protected], [email protected]).
- Test the hostname you created by typing it into a web browser bar outside your home network. If it loads, then you are connected properly.
- Lastly, install the Dyn updater client. Some devices may already have Dyn's updater client pre-installed; for these, simply navigate to the application's DynDNS section for set-up.
