Calling up your network via an Internet address using FreeDNS
If you have a home server or a data logger behind a router in your home network, you can call up it via an internet address using a DynDNS service. The DynDNS service can transfer your dynamic IP address of your home network to an internet address.
Some providers offer this service at no charge. These providers include, for example FreeDNS.
Prerequisites for using FreeDNS:
- You use a router for Internet access.
- The server or data logger has a fixed IP address and is not integrated into the network via DHCP (dynamically assigned IP addresses).

If you still have an account and you are familiar with FreeDNS, you can directly create your Subdomain.
Setup automatic IP update
Router with an integrated DynDNS service
Many routers support DynDNS services out of the box. In this case, please refer to the documentation for your special router. Find out, if FreeDNS is supported. If not, please refer to the next section.
Router without an integrated DynDNS service
If your router does not support a DynDNS service, you can install a special program called a "DynDNS client" inside your home network. In this case you can find here a program that fits to your system.
