About to become awful: Free Netgear Dynamic DNS
When I first got my RAX200 it was hard to believe it was limited to only having the choice of three DDNS providers, but at least the built-in "NETGEAR" option through NO-IP was free. A year later and ...

You mentioned this already in this thread?
Anyway, I think it would be easy enough for netgear to actually offer this service within the netgear domain rather than subing it out to a 3rd party or allow us to manually enter dns details feely instead of pinning us to these rip off dns providers. Absolute BS and slack on Netgears behalf.

It's also required to hae a custom option to allow any de-facto standards compliant DDNS updates - not just what some PLM just finds sexy enough to integrate.

Quite annoyed by the wasted time reasearching alternative services only to find there are no others allowed... I was convinced I was missing something that the only free option would be taken away without an alternative (the nag email option is not a reasonable alternative).
Please add a more flexible DDNS setup now that the "free" deal has been dropped (which I presume should have been a key part of the exclusivity agreement with no-ip).
