Connecting to wifi questions

Thanks, Lee.

Any opinions that you've heard of between dyndns vs no-ip? no-ip os 19.95/yr vs $25/year for dyndns (assuming it's the remote access option, am i correct w/ that?). that's a good percentage difference, plus I am cheap...haha.

found this:

http://freedns.afraid.org/

might give it a shot. I found an old post by binder talking about it.

I have no real opinion. I never tried no-ip. I've been using dyndns for >10 years with no issues.

Ok, decided to try freedns.afraid.org. Setup was super simple and my android app connects w/ the new domain on both home and away profiles. Thanks Lee and Roberto for your help. Now on to other issues....

i'm using no-ip currently because of dyndns changing their services and moving towards a pay service. the no-ip service requires you to login once a month to "update" your hosts or else they will remove your hosts.
like you, i am "cheap" when it comes to this. i pay for other domains and hostings and dns and i don't want to pay for "one more thing".

the only drawback that i noticed with the freedns.afraid.org is that they do a community usage of domain names. it's not a bad idea if you don't mind that others could potentially use your domain name. i know you can configure things to make it harder to do that or to restrict others from doing that. overall though, it did look like a decent service (and free).

keep us posted on how it works out for you or if you encounter any problems. i doubt that you would but just mentioning it anyways.

Hey Curt! Thanks for responding. First, thanks for a great app!

I went w/ afraid.org because (besides free) I like the community like organization. It reminds me of open source projects like this, b2evo, gallery2, etc that I have played with. I don't really mind sharing the domain. I do own a bunch of domains and can add it to afraid if I am a paid member to keep it private. I will try to see how this goes and hope that the domain name owner doesn't do anything crazy. After only a day, it works fine. Only time will tell.

What every happened to this thread?

Were you trying to see if there was support in adding either domain into afraig.org for us to use?

i was just trying to come up with ideas for custom urls through ra. nothing ever came of it because of a lack of real expressed interest and other things.
