Yeah, I'm pretty sure that email got sent to the junkbox this month. I did
see it last time. I'll look into that...

So does the client in my router. 

Aside from being annoyed at this minor outage, I don't have any real
complaints about no-ip. But, if there's options out there that don't have
this limitation, perform just as well, and are relatively easy to set up, why
not explore them?
