Updating the Tunnel Endpoint

For a dynamic WAN, such as DHCP or PPPoE, HE.net can still be used as a tunnel broker. AZTCO-FW includes a DynDNS type that will update the tunnel endpoint IP address whenever the WAN interface IP changes.

If DynDNS is desired, it may be configured as follows:

  • Navigate to Services > DynDNS
  • Click + Add to add a new entry.
  • Set the Service Type to be HE.net Tunnelbroker.
  • Select WAN as the Interface to Monitor.
  • Enter the Tunnel ID from the tunnel broker configuration into the Hostname field.
  • Enter the Username for the tunnel broker site.
  • Enter either the Password or Update Key for the tunnel broker site into the Password field.
  • Enter a Description.
  • Click Save and Force Update.

If and when the WAN IP address changes, AZTCO-FW will automatically update the tunnel broker.
