External address keeps changing

by colin » Wed Sep 17, 2014 8:49 am

Hi,
how do I stop the external address from changing in the preferences remote access panel so that I can log into the iPhone app without having to change it every day in the app.

I am running the latest mac os

thanks

Colin

Hi Colin,

The external IP address is the IP address to your home or business which is assigned by your ISP. If it is changing frequently you may want to look into a dynamic DNS provider (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS) which would allow you to access yourname.somedomain rather than your fluctuating IP.

Best,
