Assign a domain name to a local IP ~ DepoTech

You need to communicate with a device from outside your home network? Be it a camera or a computer, the No-IP service allows you to assign a URL to an IP, even local.

Normally, on your local network, devices and computers on your wired or wireless box have their own IP rated like this 192.168.1.XX. The problem is that it is not possible to access these IP from outside your network, as they are known only to your box: it's local IP.

How then have access to a surveillance camera when you are not home? Just actually "map" the IP of your box so that it corresponds to a domain name, for example http://idpresse.ddns.net. It will then redirect requests to this address on the local IP to access your hardware.
