==== 1.4 Leave FreeDNS page open & make sure it has the WRONG IP for you. ==== # Either the ''[https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ dynamic DNS page on FreeDNS]'' OR the ''[https://freedns.afraid.org/subdomain/ subdomains page on FreeDNS]''. Make sure the IP address is as we entered before, which is <code>8.8.8.8</code>. # '''IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS IP ADDRESS NOT BE YOUR IP ADDRESS! WE WANT IT TO BE WRONG!''' # Make sure it is still set to the <code>8.8.8.8</code> I told you to set it to before. # If it is not, set it to <code>8.8.8.8</code>. # Reload both pages. Still <code>8.8.8.8</code>? Good. # We want this to be wrong – it changing from “wrong” to “not wrong” when we finish our work will mean that our setup works. '''Why are we doing things this way?''' It takes an insignificant amount of extra time to do things like this, as a check against everything; from software glitches to my own carelessness and absent-mindedness. Starting with the assumption that nothing works properly allows us to figure out at the very beginning if everything has been configured properly. Starting with the assumption that nothing works will allow us to figure out if our system ACTUALLY works BEFORE WE NEED IT TO WORK!! You’ll see when we are testing certain features and functionalities and software like syncthing later that this comes in very handy. In the video, a connection will work & have a green checkbox the first time, but local discovery will not work the second time, even though the server & client IPs remain unchanged. NEVER ASSUME A FIX WORKS WITHOUT BREAKING THE THING IT IS SUPPOSED TO FIX AND SEEING WHAT IT DOES. Assume that nothing works, especially your own brain, and you will create systems that guard against much more than your own human error! <span id="step-2-configuring-pfsense-for-dynamic-dns"></span>
