This guide explains how to access a Sunrise Internet Box connected to the Internet with a dynamic IP via a domain name.

Prerequisites

• Have a Box that allows you to configure a custom dynamic DNS provider.
• A Dynamic DNS must have been created on the domain in question.

Link a Sunrise Internet Box to a domain name

There are different models of Sunrise Internet Box. Here is an example:

1. Log in to the Sunrise Box administration interface (http://192.168.1.1 for example).
2. Activate expert mode (button at the top right).
3. Go to DynDNS (top left):
   
4. Click on the DynDNS tab.
5. Activate the Dynamic DNS client.
6. Choose the provider “Custom”:
   
7. Fill in the following fields:
   • Username = the identifier defined in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS
   • Password = the password defined in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS
   • Hostname = the URL configured in the Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS
8. Below, fill in the following fields:
   
   • Server: infomaniak.com
   • Port: 443
   • Request (to copy-paste as is): https://infomaniak.com/nic/update?hostname=[DOMAIN]&myip=[IP]&username=[USERNAME]&password=[PASSWORD]
   • Update interval (seconds): 300
   • Retry interval (seconds): 30
   • Max attempts: 3

The interface may be presented in this form but the principle remains the same:

Other routers

It's the same principle for an Omada SDN solution from TP-Link; the Update-URL is https://infomaniak.com/nic/update?hostname=[DOMAIN]&myip=[IP]&username=[USERNAME]&password=[PASSWORD]:

And for other models (type Zyxel USG Flex or ax7501-B1 for example) fill in the fields using the data below:

1. Enable DDNS Profile : enable
2. DDNS Type : User custom
3. HTTPS : enable
4. Username : the identifier defined in the Infomaniak Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS (help)
5. Password : the password defined in the Infomaniak Manager when adding the Dynamic DNS (help)
6. Domain Name : host name with the domain
7. Primary Binding Address > Interface : any
8. Backup Binding Address > Interface : none
9. DYNDNS Server : infomaniak.com
10. URL (to copy-paste as is) : /nic/update?password=password(point 5 above)&username=username(point 4 above)&hostname=DomainName
    • example /nic/update?password=abcd1234&username=admin&hostname=abc.domain.xyz
