Dynamic DNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) allows assigning a fixed domain name to a dynamic WAN IP address of your gateway, which enables the Internet hosts to access the device or the hosts in LAN using the domain names. DDNS is usually offered by the DDNS provider such as DynDNS, No-IP, Peanuthull, Comexe and Custom. DDNS providers offer users the DDNS client. TP-Link gateway has been equipped with some common DDNS client. After users log in to the DDNS client, the router’s changing WAN port IP is bound with a certain domain name address. The domain name address is the one that the user registered at the DDNS service provider.

  Service Provider	Guides/FAQ's/URL's	IPv4	IPv6	Update URLs
  FreeDNS	- Interface V1 - Interface V2 - Update Interface v2 Tips	yes	yes	- V1: http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@freedns.afraid.org/nic/update?hostname=[DOMAIN]&myip=[IP] - V2: http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@sync.afraid.org/u/?h=[DOMAIN]&ip=[IP] - V2 inline: http://sync.afraid.org/u/?u=[USERNAME]&p=[PASSWORD]&h=[DOMAIN]&ip=[IP]
  Namecheap	- DDNS Documentation	yes	no	IPv4: http://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=[USERNAME]&domain=[DOMAIN]&password=[PASSWORD]&ip=[IP]

• Custom service provider which do not work with current Omada version, but might be available in future. Reason why it can not be used is very simple, it is because Omada developers made mandatory use of [USERNAME], [PASSWORD] and [DOMAIN] in Update-URL field. In following example, I use [TOKEN] which is currently not available in Omada. But Omada developers will either create token field and in case it is used Update-URL should allow only [TOKEN]. Other possibility is if omada Developers do not make mandatory use of variables in Update-URL field. This solution would work, since one could enter token into password field and use just [PASSWORD].
