+<h2>DynamicDNS client</h2>
 <p>If your internet provider changes your IP address periodic (i.e. every 24h) it may be hard for others to find you in the WEB. And for this reason nobody may find the services which are provided by freedombox (like your owncloud). The solution is to assign a DNS name to your IP address and update the DNS name every time your IP is changed by your Internet provider. Dynamic DNS allows you to push your current public IP address to an  <a href='http://gnudip2.sourceforge.net/'
   target='_blank'> gnudip </a> server. Afterwards the Server will assign your personal DNS name with the new IP and if someone from the internet asks for your DNS name he will get your personal IP answered.</p>
