#RaspberryPi with NoIP software for Dynamic DNS

by Michael Horne • 11 May 2013 • 2 Comments

Matthew Manning over at Raspberry Pi IV Beginners has created a new video that explains how to get dynamic DNS working on your Pi. This allows you to have a static hostname for your Pi even if your actual IP address changes. Nice job, Matthew – a video is SO much better than following a list of boring instructions. 🙂
