--- #### **Router with Dynamic IP address configuration**Most modern routers provide their own DynDNS services. We recommend using them.
Here's an example of the DynDNS menu on the TP-Link router with the TP-Link service provider: [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/EdVGAlbXabmnREXy-screenshot-82.png) You only need to create a DynDNS record in the router interface. Then skip to Step 6 below. --- If your router does not have its own DynDNS service provider, we recommend using third-party NO-IP DynDNS. 1\. In the router setting, go to DynDNS/DDNS settings, [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/doLiCDLSJKzRoFIe-3-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png) 2\. Check the DynDNS service available for your router. If available, we recommend using the No IP DynDNS service provider. 3\. Go to the website noip.com and sign up. [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/bceoEIpcnfn4hTTJ-4-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png) 4\. In your No-IP account, create a hostname (any name you can think of).

Go back to your router and configure DDNS/DynDNS. - Select No-IP as "**Service provider**". - Type in the created hostname in the "**Hostname**" field. - Type in your No-IP account credentials as "Username" and "Password", and click "Save". [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/DL3RnBN6JAKMoytg-8-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png) If everything is correct, DynDNS/DDNS settings will apply. [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/PlNezRO5TgDXeXt6-9router-setup-guide-ipv4.png) 6\. Go to SafeDNS **Dashboard > Settings > Devices** and copy your DynDNS hostname to the "**IP addresses / DynDNS**" box, choose a policy, and click "**Add**".[](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/ocIhgqOq9TJOtTIb-2-router.png) Once added, you will see it in the DynDNS section of the Dashboard. [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/UQD1MnUfNq6MOHPq-3-router.png) 7\. Change your router’s DNS servers to SafeDNS addresses - **195.46.39.39** and **195.46.39.40** [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/WzcYdnWVM9FMQWfR-1-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png) **You have successfully configured your router.**Please note that settings take 5-7 minutes to apply.

--- #### **Configuring the filter using the DDclient.** In rare cases when your router does not have a DynDNS/DDNS setting and your IP is Dynamic, you need to use third-party software - **DDclient** - on the PC connected to the network: 1\. [Install DDclient](https://docs.safedns.com/books/installation-guides/page/dd-client-setup) on a PC connected to the network. Once DDclient is installed, all devices connected to the same network will be filtered by the same rules. 2\. Set up DNS servers in your router: [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/dRpxBDredsMg3qy6-12-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png)
