Anyone Use No-IP.com ???

http://www.no-ip.com/

I was looking into using their free service to hide my IP address that i use to link people to my Winamp Shoutcast station... a friend referred me there but i've never utilized it and wanted to know if it was a reputable site and trustworthy...

Started reading their users agreement and noticed:

your thoughts?

 

Some are government based. As in, they monitor where you browse and such, trying to see if one were to do illicit activities. Though, if you don't use them for illegal activities, no trouble.


Just info from what I heard. Nothing from the internet, just info from people I know, who are ,uh, in the know so to speak.

 

Eh, i just wanted to know if it's safe to give this site my IP address and allow them to hide my IP... i only plan on using it to link people to my internet radio station which is hosted on my computer...

 

I've never used no-ip, but I've used dyndns. They work pretty well.

 

I use no-ip.com all the time.. I actually purchased the 13 dollar lifetime account so I can have extra domain names and more hosts etc.. works very well.

 

hey kodo you think you'd be able to help me if i have any problems setting it up? as i mentioned I just want to be able to link people to my winamp radio station, the URL is my comp's IP addy, without letting them see my IP....

 

alright Kodo, i've got my account set up, i've got my domain name... i'm not behind a static IP, so when i have to reset my router (when ISP goes down), i get assigned a new IP... so i was looking into downloading their tool, Windows Dynamic Update Client, so that i won't have to continually update my IP with the site each time it changes... good/bad idea to use this tool? Hopefully it won't take up much resources as it looks like something that has to run as a background process...
