Once that is all set-up, login to your pfsense router (see below images) Otherwise, I have to work out with additional routing and NAT’ing in order to get these working, which is quite a round trip. Please note, I have bridged my ADSL router and used pfsense’s PPPoE interface to dial so that I can get the public IP on the WAN interface. IPv4 address should be your router’s current IP address (or the IP that is visible in your pfsense’s WAN interface).Record type should be A record as we just need our ISP given dynamic IPs to be resolved to that given hostname (note: if your ISP is providing ipv6, the record type should be AAA).Call a meaningful hostname by choosing any domain with the drop-down (domain names are just for resolving purpose).As seen above, navigate to Dashboard and select Dynamic DNS (free) and then select Add hostname on the right column which then gives a pop-up to proceed with.Once the account is set-up navigate to the dashboard and select Add Hostname and fill in the details (see below image and directions)

Set-up a free account at No-IP as they provide up to 3 hosts on a free account and it works flawlessly without any issues. For now, let’s do the Dynamic DNS set-up. I will capture VPN configuration using OpenVPN in another post sooner as the main purpose of setting up Dynamic DNS is to VPN in. Well! using VPN is secured and I prefer that rather than a random software. You might say, why not use Teamviewer or a similar remote tool to support. To avoid wasting time for simple issues, I use VPN to connect to the network to troubleshoot or to support remotely. This means either a remote session or a physical visit is required. Now comes the part where my attention and support required at times when they’re in trouble. So, I mostly prepare VMWare’s ESXi (free edition) with the required servers in place such as firewall (pfsense), Active directory (domain) & file server along with proper back-ups in place for both the DATA & VMs. Most of my office branches are enrolled with very less users, hence spending a massive amount on high-end hardware such as firewall, managed switches… etc are just over kill. That said, let me roll back into what I was discussing about. You can even use at a small working environment much of required feature set in place. Nevertheless, you might need to look into their hardware firewalls available with golden support for enterprise users, which I would recommend instead.įor a user like myself, it pretty much does what I require from filtering web requests to doing a VPN from anywhere outside the world. However, I would not recommend such solutions for an enterprise level use with much higher expectations as pfSense might not fit into the bucket. It serves and consists of most of the requirement an individual or an SME requires.

PfSense is few of the most powerful yet, open-source software based firewall you can ever find. Posted By Azker - AppfSense – Configure Dynamic DNS with NoIP
