Really...just 3 options?

Noip -- DynDNS -- and dyns.cx that is dead...

Awesome...

So we only have 2 options to choose from and only 1 of them offeres free dns with limitations...

Or can we bypass the stupid service provider drop down menu and simply add our own host, username and pass?

Another option is to use a provider that has a client which auto updates your IP on the DNS whenever it changes. That is of course if you have a 24/7 running device

Hi James!

Any thoughts on the TP OC200 or shall i avoid this? the 101 was discontinued.

I heard that the unifi key2 is worth going for but they are all sold out from official site...and what does the unifi actually do other than support 50 devices? can it act like a self managed controller like TP?

I use the No-IP $1.99 option which is a lot cheaper than DynDNS who I was previously with because they hiked their prices significantly this year.

I'd avoid it unless you are planning to get rid of the Sky hub completely. The Sky hub doesnt play very nice with any managed hardware like that

Hi Simon 👋

Good to know about no ip. 
Sadly I will be leaving sky in the next few months. But this is good to know should I return back to sky

Hi James,

This is good to know as well

when I officially move to my custom setup I have a good feeling these restrictions won't be an issue. 
should I return to sky in the near future I'll bare this in mind 👍
