Dynamic IP, DDNS and CGNAT: making your UniFi console reachable
Without a static IP, a DDNS name is enough, even one kept up to date by your router or firewall. With CGNAT, such as Starlink, DDNS alone is not: here is why.
Dynamic DNS for UniFi: set up DDNS on UniFi, FRITZ!Box and FortiGate
Set up Dynamic DNS on your UniFi Gateway, FRITZ!Box, FortiGate or Zyxel so your UniFi console stays reachable behind a dynamic IP. CGNAT and checks included.
