The result is that your free URL evilpcgenius.no-ip.org or your registered domain
evilpcgenius.org could point to IP address 75.123.45.67 one day and the next
day point to 71.98.76.54. As long as the DNS services for the ISPs of your friends and
family catch the update from the dynamic DNS provider, your friends and family will
be able to view your webcam or whichever service you run on your home network
and allow in from the Internet.
Step 1: Register for a Dynamic IP Service
For some reason, long ago I chose one of No-IP.com??™s services for some of my dynamic
IP services, both free and a paid service, and just stuck with it, so that is what
I??™ll use for this project. Visit www.no-ip.com (so-named for those of us who do not
have static IP addresses) click the Sign-up Now link at the top of the page, create your
account, and select your preference for hostname and their available domain names
(see Figure 23-1).
At the No-IP web site click the Sign-up Now! link near the top of the web
page.
Provide your information on the Create Your No-IP Account page. Read and
accept the terms of use. You will be sent an account activation link to the
e-mail address you provided.
Check your email account, click the link provided to activate your No-IP
account, then log onto the site. Once you are logged in you can provide
the details to add your desired hostname (Figure 23-1) for the No-IP service
you select.
Next, select the Downloads tab at the top and click the respective Windows,
Apple, or Linux logo to download the dynamic IP program for your computer.
