No, that's a different thing (unless they've named something badly). It's for giving you a public domain name that points to your IP, and handles updating your domain name record whenever your IP changes (that's the dynamic part of it). People use things like that so they can connect to their computer when they're away, and not have to know its current IP address. > I expect I'd have to tell something what DNS server to use. > The router is labeled ARRIS and is at 192.168.0.1 . Perhaps you should search: https://www.google.com/search?&q=arris+router+configuration https://www.google.com/search?q=arris+router+dns+settings 1. Log into your router's IP address at 192.168.0.1, use the admin/password (default password is password) 2. Go to LAN Setup Tab 3. Scroll down to DNS Override 4. Enable the feature by clicking the check mark option at that section 5. Enter the DNS IP addresses you want to use into the fields. 6. Save your settings. Of course I got that information without knowing your particular model, so the instructions may need some interpretation. You can set domain name server IPs of your own choosing. They could be your ISP's, you could use Google's (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4). There are anti-censorship servers, filtered servers (removing ads or other unwanted content). https://www.google.com/search?&q=public+dns+servers Have a look at this page: https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-public-dns-servers-2626062 _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
