+===== Dynamic DNS =====
+This server is set up to allow a DNS name from the public internet, to hit this server, even though its IP address changes regularly by the ISP.
+Previously I had DynDNS.com services, but I discontinued them because they doubled their rates. I've moved to ''afraid.org''

+I installed a wget line in the root crontab (I removed part of the password string).

+[8/14/2021] Today I received an email from freedns.afraid.org telling me that I hadn't logged in for 5.5 months, so I logged in there. The cron described above is still active on server Ivan. However, both servers Ivan and Joshua are accessible on selected ports.
