==== 1.3 Get the update URL from FreeDNS ====

The update URL is the URL '''pfSense''' will access to tell FreeDNS that your domain name’s IP address has changed &amp; should change to the IP that your router is accessing that FreeDNS URL from.

# After saving, click “Dynamic DNS” from the upper left menu of choices.
# You’ll see your new subdomain at the bottom.
# Right-click on the “Direct URL” link next to your hostname and copy the link address.
# This URL is how we will update our IP address automatically. '''DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE OR THEY WILL BE ABLE TO MESS WITH YOU ENDLESSLY BY CHANGING THE IP THAT YOUR NEW WEBSITE NAME ATTACHES TO AWAY FROM YOUR SERVER!!'''

<blockquote>'''NOTE:''' The Direct URL contains what is like a “password” necessary for updating your dynamic DNS record. Keep this URL secure and don’t share it publicly unless you want your dynamic dns domain name redirecting to goatse
