Does the fusionhub have ddns feature so we don’t have to pay for a static ip on the vm for non-critical connections?
Thanks!
Hi John - Welcome to the forum!
InControl2 has an inbuilt dyanmic DNS service called mypep.link. you go to the Fusionhub device details in IC2, click edit and then turn it on and set a name:

Perfect, used your youtube video to help me get this setup that was great so many, many thanks!
One more question, regarding that I noticed you didn’t set a pre-shared key in the video, is that recommended? In my vpn I always set a strong random psk so was wondering if there is another method securing it.
Its not recommended no - I was just being lazy. Without the PSK the initial handshake and tunnel setup traffic will be unencrypted, but the subsequent payload is encrypted. With PSK all the tunnel creation process is encrypted so it is a good idea.
Is the Peplink DDNS feature still active/available in Firmware 8.5.1? I’ve looked about everywhere I can think on my FusionHub, but I dont see it.
Im attempting allow anywhere access to a wifi thermostat via a phone based app. That phone app requires a DDNS link.
My solution was to setup a FusionHub /SpeedFusion VPN, then add a DDNS link to the FusionHub. That FusionHub DDNS could then be entered into the app and allow anywhere access.
I have the SpeedFusion VPN up and running thanks to @MartinLangmaid.
This ought to be pretty easy since the FusionHub has a static public IP…
Found it…
Its labeled under Find My Peplink Service…I was looking for something labeled DDNS.
