Worldwide access to your NAS server via a
dynamic DNS service (DynDNS)
Home users and private households normally access the Internet via an Internet service
provider. The Internet service provider issues an IP address (e.g.: 80.139.140.223) from its
address pool to your router upon connection. This IP address, however, is reissued with
every new connection to the Internet or at the latest after 24 hours. In order to maintain
permanent access to the router via the Internet, you therefore require a fixed IP address.
So-called “DynDNS” providers assign a fixed Internet address with name resolution to the
alternating IP addresses from your Internet service provider (e.g.: http://photocollection.
DDNSDienst.com).
Your NAS server is thus always accessible using the same Internet address
(http://photocollection.DDNSDienst.com) although your router receives changing IP
addresses from your Internet service provider.
This is achieved through the transmission of the router’s currently allocated IP address by a
DynDNS client (usually installed in the router or also in the NAS server) to the
corresponding DynDNS provider.
How to install and configure a DynDNS service in 3 steps:
1. Set up a user account with a DynDNS provider (in the example,
www.DDNSDienst.com), most DynDNS providers offer free user accounts for this
purpose.
In the example described here, you set up an account with the DynDNS provider
www.DDNSDienst.com using the following data:
Host name: photocollection.DDNSDienst.com
User: photocollection
Password: ******
NOTE!
The address name, here “photocollection”, can be freely selected, assuming that
the name has not already been taken. The address extension “DDNSDienst.com”
is automatically assigned by the DNS service. The account is secured with a user
password.
2. The name via which the NAS server can be accessed must be entered into the router
at home or, alternatively (if the router does not offer this option), it can also be set
up via the user interface on the NAS server. However, the most technically reliable
option is entering the name directly into the router.
The example here shows the set up process on a router:
If your router does not offer you the option of activating a DynDNS client, then the
DynDNS client can also be activated in the NAS server. This requires the DynDNS client to
be downloaded and installed in the package manager section of the administration
interface (as described in the manual in the chapter “Package”):
86517 EN ALDI AUS DNSFlyer RC2.indd 186517 EN ALDI AUS DNSFlyer RC2.indd 1 30.07.2012 11:04:0930.07.2012 11:04:09

The DynDNS client is set up in the administration interface of the NAS server under the
heading “Network – DyDNS”.
The following information is entered here:
- DynDNS provider
- The host name
- User name
- The password and re-entered password
And then the client is activated.
The client reads the Internet IP address from the router (80.139.140.223 in the example)
and sends it to the DynDNS provider. The DynDNS provider then allocates it to the rele-
vant account and the previously assigned Internet address (in the example:
photocollection.DDNSDienst.com). The router is thus accessible via the Internet by
entering the relevant Internet address (in the example: photocollection.DDNSDienst.com)
in a standard Internet browser.
3. The port forwarding function needs to be set up on the router.
Because the router does not offer the relevant DynDNS services for the NAS server, it needs
to be configured so that it can forward the requests from the Internet to the NAS server.
This function is called port forwarding (port mapping).
The settings for the port mapping function vary depending on the type of router and must
be taken from the operating instructions for the relevant router. The user interface on the
router is shown here as an example:
In order for the NAS server to be able to answer, the requests made to the primary fixed
internal IP address (192.168.178.32 in the example) must be forwarded by the router to the
NAS server. This is set up using the following internet protocols:
- http (NAS user interface): Port 80; tcp
- ftp: Port 21; tcp
Once the port forwarding function has been correctly set up on the router, the NAS server
can be accessed via the Internet under the name: http://photocollection.DDNSDienst.com.
NOTE!
All of the DynDNS providers and accounts described here are examples only!
Please note that some providers on the market offer free services while other
services are subject to a charge. Additional costs may also be incurred even when
using a free DynDNS account, depending on the relevant technical details and
enhancements.
