Roberto, could you update the original post and make this a sticky? It will certainly help the new folks.

Re: Our DDNS service
I'm still having problems with my portal. i cant seem to access it outside of the app or on reef angel website. ive tried posting my ddns into the address bar and even tried the ip address for my wifi attachement. im lost
Re: Our DDNS service
The Portal (website) and the apps are the only ways to access your RA right now. Accessing the controller directly is still in beta and doesn't work very well.vvjosh06 wrote:I'm still having problems with my portal. i cant seem to access it outside of the app or on reef angel website. ive tried posting my ddns into the address bar and even tried the ip address for my wifi attachement. im lost

Re: Our DDNS service
If you want to access it directly add /r99 to the URL (http://www.xxx.yyy.zzz:2000/r99)
If this works with your internal IP and not your external IP then your port forwarding is not working

Re: Our DDNS service
I changed my subdomain from the default in a continuing set of things I'm doing to improve security a bit. Anyone know how quickly it gets updated by the RA server in the zone file?
Edit: It gets updated right away if you get the ReefAngel.Portal() syntax right. I forgot to put a comma between the username and portal key, so it never took affect until I fixed it. Doh.

Re: Our DDNS service
I am SO confused with out to make my RA accessible from anywhere outside of my network. I do not understand all of the jargon(dns, tcp, ymca, smtp). So far I have not found a thread that helps in simple terms how to set this up. i contacted reef angel and the guy has helped me with the wifi box connecting but he doesnt have any support for the port forwarding. i have a netgear router and i added the ports and ip address to port forwarding but still it doesnt work i have to assume its not as easy as typing in the port and ip address. because i did that and it doesnt work so there must be more to it. can anyone help with this? im willing to trade a zoa frag for information if need be.
Re: Our DDNS service
What model Netgear router?
I want to try information on it online.

Re: Our DDNS service
hmmm if I simply use astralmind-reef.myreefangel.com, it attempts to connect directly to my router asking for its credentials. I have to add the ":2000" for it to bounce to my reef angel (and from there on it seems fine). Did I miss something ?
Re: Our DDNS service
Nope, that is correct. The DDNS service just points a domain name to your home network (ip address). you still need the port to get to the reef angel.astralmind wrote:hmmm if I simply use astralmind-reef.myreefangel.com, it attempts to connect directly to my router asking for its credentials.

Re: Our DDNS service
I've been having trouble with this for several days now. I'm unable to get a connection using myreefangel.com through Curt's app. Error 13 failed to connect, but it shows the wrong IP address. My no-ip address works fine, as does the portal. Has the myreefangel.com stopped updating for me?
Re: Our DDNS service
I thought I saw something about the service not being available anymore but I don't recall. I would have to search more for it. If it is stopped, I still have my domain available for use. It's not as easy as the RA one but it works and is free.cosmith71 wrote:I've been having trouble with this for several days now.

Re: Our DDNS service
I need to figure out how to do it on a Linux system, which is what our new server is.
Until then, it is not updating

and this

now, i don’t know how well this would work for you but it can give you an idea of how to update the records when you get the values/ip address.

Re: Our DDNS service
That would explain it! I'm up and running on no-ip, so it's not a big deal right now.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Our DDNS service
I didn't have time to check this out.
But with the new cloud service, this became obsolete, so I'm not so sure if this is going to be brought back.
The new cloud service allows for remote control and monitoring without any need of ip configuration or port forwarding.

Re: Our DDNS service
even if the Reef Angel ddns is obsolete, there still is the alternate ddns. it's not as easy as the ra version but it works.
