This is indeed annoying but I didn't get the same problem as ranger_m My workaround is simple (but Netgear please smooth this out). 1: Enable Dynamic DNS and Enter non existing Dyn account with my (Important) hostname.mydomain.com 2: Enable VPN Service and generate a profile for my personal dyn dns. hostname.mydomain 3: Disable Dynamic DNS. As a side note my "DynDNS" is similar. I am executing a shell script on my Synology as a repeating task. It updates the A record on DNSimple through the API.
