      I have a server setting at home
      I have pfsense installed and working and my internet provider has issued one Dyanamic Ip, I have installed the Dynamic DNS client NO-IP, it is functioning and updating IP's when it changes
      how do I configure pfsense to use the Dynamic DNS to forward request to a website configured in port forwarding

        @kdmiller61 the request wouldn't be dynamic. And you don't really need a client on some other pc on your network.. Pfsense can keep your IP updated to the dynamic service you are using.

        It supports no-ip

        Or it prob supports whatever other ddns service you were using.

        All a ddns does is point to your internet IP, the IP on pfsense wan normally unless pfsense is behind a nat router.

        Just create your normal port forward rule using your wan address as the destination. This built in alias will know if pfsense wan IP changes. And just forward this to whatever IP behind pfsense.
