Re: [PLUG] Fwd: Your Dyn account status will change in 14 days

[Walt Mankowski <waltman@pobox.com>]

I've been a dyndns user for a long time, and I continue to use their
dynamic DNS services every day.  They've been providing me such great
service for free for so many years that I'm probably going to stick
with them and get a paid account.

I do my remote control of home computers via TeamViewer these days, and anything else (such as Plex) goes through their service, so I don't need a static dynamic DNS  hostname at home.
