Dyn are a big company, I just don't think they take free accounts any more... if that's what your looking for.

All are external in some way, think of DDNS as an "updating addressbook".

You always ask the book with your password, it forwards you the new location.

When I say own, I mean the router manufacturer may have settings to able one via them, a bit like DVR's have.
