This guide explains how to access a Sunrise Internet Box connected to the internet with a dynamic IP address 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.

Linking 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 (e.g., http://192.168.1.1).
2. Enable expert mode (button in the top right corner).
3. Go to DynDNS (top left):
   
4. Click on the DynDNS tab.
5. Enable the Dynamic DNS client.
6. Choose the “Custom” provider:
   
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 (copy and 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

The same principle applies to a 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 (such as 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: hostname with the domain
7. Primary Binding Address > Interface : any
8. Backup Binding Address > Interface : none
9. DYNDNS Server: infomaniak.com
10. URL (copy and 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
