Fritzbox: Set up Dyndns

With DynDns you can allow permanent remote access to your network. You can also set up a Dyndns service in the Fritzbox.

Create DynDns address

First you need a DynDns address. If you already have one, you can skip this section.

1. The best known service for dynamic DNS is dyndns.org. However, this is now chargeable. In this practical tip we use the free service of noip.com.
2. Open the noip.com registration page.
3. Now enter a user name, a password and your email address. Now you can choose a host name and a domain for your DynDns. Deselect the checkmark at the bottom of the website and click on the "Sign Up" button.
4. You will now receive an email with a confirmation link that you must open.
5. You can now make further configurations on your DynDns in the settings, but this is not absolutely necessary.

Set up DynDns in the Fritzbox

If you have now created a DynDns, you can integrate it into the Fritzbox.

1. Open the fritz.box user interface (//fritz.box/) and enter your password.
2. Select the item "Internet" in the menu on the left and the "Shares" below.
3. Then click the Dynamic DNS tab above.
4. Now check the "Use Dynamic DNS" box (see picture).
5. Now you can select "No-IP.com" in the list and enter your domain name and the associated user name with password below.
6. If you then click the "Take over" button, your Fritzbox can always be reached via the specified host name.
