Hardware routers
Although our automatic account-update software
operates independently of routers, there are network structures where a
Windows or Linux PC which can run our account-update software is not or
not permanently available.
In these cases, it is recommended to carry out regular account updates
via the hardware router.
Since the basic idea of dynamic DNS does not go very far, DDNS services
which copy DynDNS.org do not offer any additional security-relevant
features. Precisely these features make DynAccess into a service which
is unique world-wide.
Router manufacturers have usually limited themselves to implementing
DDNS integration on the basis of DynDNS.org and its copies.
The biggest disadvantage is that the routers carry out an account update
only in the case of an IP change. DynAccess, in contrast, requires as a
minimum regular account updates.
This is the reason why we do not appear in the pull-down lists of every
hardware router and do not want to appear there.
We are in contact with many companies focussed on the business customer
and are attempting to broaden the palette of products with direct direct
DynAccess support.
Hardware routers with direct DynAccess support are offered by
-
Lancom-Systems
-
the
Lancom-based routers of Deutsche Telekom AG
PC based routers/VPN/communication solutions with direct DynAccess
support are offered by
- the OSIkom Box from PDS
- the BlackBox from
team2work
For freely configurable hardware routers we offer a
DynDNS.org-compatible interface.
Known to us at the present time are individual routers from the
manufacturers
- AVM (Fritz!Box, KEN)
- CISCO
- D-Link (depending on the firmware)
- SMC
Resumé:
If possible, you should in every case prefer our software for automatic
account updates to any other solution. For only our software guarantees
100% support for DynAccess with all of its security-relevant functions,
the use of our fall-back systems and of the HeartBeat.
Do not worry about using the above-mentioned products with direct
DynAccess support. However, keep in mind that the features are
limited. |
