Help to CNAME on my server

#1

Hi. maybe somebody can help a beginner in ipv6…
My router manufacturer provides a ddns on ipv6 for my router. Lets assume this is AUNBGfvfd34jl.manufacturer.com. And I can even ping my server in the network with server.AUNBGfvfd34jl.manufacturer.com.
I would like to map the server to a simpler name and I thought CNAME would be the way to go.
How do I do it?
Sorry, if this is too basic a question, but all search did not help.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi,
you need to rent a domain if you don’t have one already. Then you can forward (ALIAS/ANAME) your domain, for example “example.com” to a subdomain like “www.example.com”. For this subdomain you can use a CNAME-entry to your router if its accessible from the internet.
I hope that helps!

Can you please please explain the exact steps needed using the web interface?

Thanks!

Do you mean the webinterface of dynv6.com? You don’t need it at all if you use the ddns of the manufacturer of your router.
You just need to rent a domain from a provider of your choice (e.g. one.com). Just search for “rent domain” with google. Then set the described ALIAS and CNAME entries, wait 24 hours and everything should work fine.
