== Dynamic DNS & pfSense ==

Configuring pfSense to use it properly seems to be a mystery to the internet at large as the findable instructions are always wrong.

Here goes a (hopefully) clear attempt:

#Go to afraid.org & register
#Pick & register a subdomain
#go here: http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/
#right-click the "Direct URL" button next to the subdomain you're going to use & '''Copy link address'''
#Paste the URL into a text editor & remove everything up and including '''"/update.php?"'''
#*What's left will be your "password" to be entered into pfSense
#Log into your pfSense server & select Services / Dynamic DNS
#click the ADD button
#In the "Service Type" box, select "freeDNS"
#check that "Interface to monitor" is "WAN"
#enter the subdomain you chose at afraid.org in the "Hostname" box
#*i.e.:&nbsp; "tinker.farted.net"
#Empty the "Username" box
#Paste the "password" created in step 5 above in the "Password" box
#Paste the "password" created in step 5 above in the "Confirm" box
#Type in a description if you like
#Click "Save"
#Enjoy
