The above commands have now compiled the No-IP update client from the FreeBSD ports tree on your server, next we need to create a No-IP client configuration file which contains your account details and other settings such as what NIC to use when updating over the internet etc. So, being logged on as вЂrootвЂ™ execute the following command:

Then setup a free domain name, for example and then we can continue to configure our FreeBSD server, this has been fully tested on FreeBSD 9.0 but should work on both newer and older versions of FreeBSD tooвЂ¦ So first of all, youвЂ™ll need to head over to and register yourself a free account.

In the past I used to solely use DynDNS however in recent months they now only provide paid services and would cost me $20 a year to host a Dynamic DNS hostname so I decided to use the services of of which do the same thing but offer their service for free рџ™‚

So as my public IP address is static, I needed to install a Dynamic DNS client so I can set a memorable DNS name for my dynamic IP address so external clients (in this case my friends donвЂ™t need to update their VPN client settings each time the IP address changes)

IвЂ™ve been using FreeBSD a lot more recently and have built a VPN server so that myself and some friends can play some LAN games over the web, I know you can use other tools such as Hamanchi but I thought IвЂ™d setup my own VPN as I can use it for other things too рџ™‚
