RV082 VPN Dynamic DNS not Resolving remote IP

[fmarshall]

I'm setting up a site-to-site VPN with an RV082 ( and an RV042).

The RV042 is behind an Actiontec modem/router that has the local public IP address.

So, this address is registered with dyndns so we can find it with a name.

The name is entered into the RV082 VPN Remote Group Setup as:

Dynamic IP + Domain Name (FQDN) Authentication

The given name for the dynamic IP is entered into Domain Name:

But, in the summary, the entry for the Remote Gateway shows only the name and 0.0.0.0 for the IP address.

This same RV082 can get the same IP address from a ping of the name just fine.

How to get the resolution to work?

Instead of using "Dynamic IP + FQDN", use "IP Only" and select "IP by DNS Resolved".

"Dynamic IP + FQDN" is used when the VPN endpoint does not have a valid public FQDN.
