I recently opened a dynamic dns user (at no-ip for that matter..) for my own personal needs and especially for ssh-ing my computer whenever I need to, without knowing it's static IP.
My questions are:
Am I misusing the concept of dynamic dns? Are there more appropriate methods to do what I want to do?
If not, how do I resolve my router's real ip address? Firefox somehow manages to do so,
nslookup
and other similar commands only resolve the ip of the ddns server (e.g.no-ip.org
). Trying to figure this mystery with wireshark failed miserably ;)
