PiVPN

Setting up PiVPN with No-ip for dynamic IP address server

Setting up No-ip account with your router

• Go to no-ip.com to sign up for an account, after signing up, navigate to 'Dynamic DNS' and click on 'No-IP Hostnames'. You will need to pick your hostname for example mydomain.ddns.net or any name that you want.

• After no-ip account is setup, now go back to your local network and look for your router ip address, in my case I'm using a Netgear router so it will be 192.168.0.1

• Inside your router web page, look for the DDNS section and fill in the no-ip account that you created above, depending on what DDNS provider your router support. It does not have to be No-ip. In my case, I'll pick no-ip as my provider.

Installing PiVPN on your server
