to DynDNS, TZO, Oray, and 3322 are provided for your convenience as option arrows on the

DDNS configuration screens.) The VPN firewall firmware includes software that notifies

DDNS servers of changes in the WAN IP address so that the services running on this

network can be accessed by others on the Internet.
