#### **Router with Dynamic IP address configuration** In case you have a Dynamic IP address, you need to configure the DynDNS/DDNS on the router using a third-party Dynamic DNS service. 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).[](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/iM2lBtwjCMovYUlh-5-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png)[](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/9NhUPXUJ6J7Yb6PE-6-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png)[](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/jXwQLcgVhGd8Kuj6-7-router-setup-guide-ipv4.png) 5\. 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/LpXHkQFElp5Kb3Nq-2-unifiubiquiti.png) Once added, you will see it in the DynDNS section of the Dashboard.[](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-08/ISJTfIGJzOkXA3Uu-3-unifiubiquiti.png) 7\. Start the Unifi Controller Application and wait for the load. Once it is loaded, start the browser. 8\. Open the Settings menu from the Dashboard: [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-03/yXTKzEmgHSgvbuK2-image-1679334506204.png) 9\. Browse the Networks menu and select the option either Create New Network or Edit. It depends on the requirements, if you are creating a new setup, there might be no networks created – then you need to create a new network. If you are starting to use SafeDNS on the existing network – then select the Edit option: [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-03/8zwV3dZ4HTFznJQu-image-1679334535779.png) The following configuration can be used as an example of your Local Network setup. 10\. Set the following DHCP Name Server addresses: 195.46.39.39 and 195.46.39.40 [](https://docs.safedns.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-03/0neDc5SA9EWAKwA7-image-1679334563582.png) 11\. After adding SafeDNS Name Servers, Press the Save button and wait for the provisioning process of the Unifi access points – it may take a while. **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/2023-03/vEgI32ecvjXmZRlB-image-1679334749750.png)
