TP-Link
Overview
If you have not yet registered for the service, you can do so by visiting our registration page. Connect to the control panel by entering the IP address of the TP-Link device in the address bar of any browser. Then, log in by entering your administrative credentials.
Configure the Device DNS
First, you need to configure the DNS of the device. Open the Network menu, then go to WAN. Finally, click on Advanced. Enter the following cloud IPs in the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS fields respectively:
- Primary DNS: 185.236.104.104
- Secondary DNS: 185.236.105.105
Configure Dynamic DNS Service
At this point, it is necessary to activate and configure the Dynamic DNS service. Proceed as follows:
- Service Provider: Choose Dyndns as your service.
- Username: Enter the specific username assigned to your dynamic network inside our dashboard. Do not use your main registration email.
- Password: Enter the specific password assigned to your dynamic network.
- Domain: Enter a domain name at will, for example, the word domain.
- Enable DDNS: Check the Enable DDNS entry.
Click the Login button to force synchronization and then click on Save to apply the changes.
It is absolutely not necessary to register for the Dyndns service. Our system will still work perfectly since the filter automatically redirects the update request to itself. Also, do not worry if an error message like DDNS not launching appears on the screen during this process.
Enable the DHCP Server
At this point, you can configure the DHCP Server to automatically assign network parameters, including our filtered DNS, to the various internal devices. To do this, click on the DHCP menu and then on DHCP Settings.
Enable the service and configure it as follows:
- Start IP Address: Enter the first IP in your local range.
- End IP Address: Enter the last IP in your local range.
- Address Lease Time: Choose the length of time the addresses assigned by DHCP are valid in seconds.
- Default Gateway: Enter the default gateway address of your network.
- Default Domain: Enter the domain name of your network if you have one.
- Primary DNS: Enter the address 185.236.104.104.
- Secondary DNS: Enter the address 185.236.105.105.
Alternatively, you can set the local IP address of the TP-Link router as the only DNS in your DHCP settings. This way, the clients will use the DNS set on the router, which is already configured to point to our cloud servers.
Finally, click Save to apply the changes.
