My IP address has changed twice in 2 months by Comcast

I don't know what is going with Comcast but they changed my IP address(WAN) twice on me lately.

Before this i had the same IP for like 2 years.

I have to restart my modem and my DVR to work with remote viewing.

Once restored my DVR will work with remote viewing until Comcast changes it again.

Now i get the same LOCAL IP back after the DVR is restarted.

ISP changing IP adress is an old problem.

Some ISPs never do it. Most ISPs that change your IP adress usually has a charged service where you keep your IP adress static.

 

One workaround is services that offer dynamic DNS.

You get a small application running on a computer in your network who reports your WAN IP adress to their site, and then points an URL to your IP, which you can later use for remote control or what you need.

 

I haven't used this kind of service for some years, so I'm unsure which option is best.

Dyndnd.org used to be a free option, but it looks like it's now a paid service.

https://zonomi.com/ looks like it offers a free version.

https://entrydns.net/ seems to have a one-time payment.

https://www.easydns.com/dns/standard is a paid-for service.

 

I'm sure there are more out there.
