It appears DynDNS has launched a new method to reach into our pockets. If you use the free version of DynDNS like I do, be sure to actually log in to your account once per month. The update client in the router is no longer good enough. This is an excerpt from an email I just received from them:
quote:Starting now, if you would like to maintain your free Dyn account, you must log into your account once a month. Failure to do so will result in expiration and loss of your hostname. This activity helps us eliminate hostnames that are no longer needed and/or dormant. Note that using an update client will no longer suffice for this monthly login.
This activity helps the eliminate hostnames that are no longer needed? Poppycock! I'd feel better about the situation if they were honest about the reason they've made this change. Perhaps IPv6 will save us! ;)
