registering Remote vpn peer IP Address in dynamic dns

As on other products, is it possible to register remote site vpn router ip address in dynamic dns public server

In this way, I could associate presharedkey to a static FQDN instead of a wildcard preshared key

No, it is not possible. If you could register the remote site vpn router ip addr in Dyn DNS public server, it could be a compramise on the security aspect.

So why is it possible on Linksys routers (cisco's branch) ?

I could also allow dns update on my main site public DNS server, and only allow internal resources (ie vpn gateway) to get remote peers IP address on it.

More generally, I am wondering on the best manner to get dynamic remote ip address. I need for maintenance purposes to get access to some public city workstations .

Currently, on remote vpn Cisco routers, I use easyvpn

with Preshared key and Xauth. But having the router's password and access, an intruder could easily get PSK

. And having PSK come into local network.

Are certificates more secure ?
