Re: Dynamic IP (and Draytek)

["Jon Twyford" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

Both the routers affected are Vigor 2600 series. One is a V the other
a Plus.

But i think all models will be affected as they probably copied code
from one FW to another.

I have had vigor routers for about 5 years but never noticed it
happening until Dyndns changed thier abuse rules. I guess as more and
more vigor routers are out there, dyndns's bandwidth is getting eaten
up with unnecessary messages. So i guess by blocking people is the
only way they can force draytek to fix it.
