Registration

You have to configure a custom dynamic DNS service (i.e. in your router or firewall) for accessing restricted services. In order to register for this free service send an inquiry containing your desired username for dynamic DNS or your static IP address (range). The dynamic host is derrived from your username and will be like username.lonet.uk.to. Currently only users with an IPv4 address can apply.
