Dynamic Domain Name System is a method of keeping a

domain name linked to a changing IP Address. This is a useful

feature since many computers do not use a static IP address.

The DI-624M supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-

through for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and

IPSec (IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there

is no need to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections

can be made through the DI-624M. This is useful when you

have many VPN clients on the LAN network.
