Is Asus DDNS Service Reliable?

[Ken Firch]

I've had my ASUS router registered with their asuscomm.com DDNS service for a long time, but have recently noticed a few connection issues while trying to connect to my NVR service. Sometimes, the iPhone NVR software can't find the NVR when using the registered MyHostName.asuscomm.com domain, but will always connects if I use the private 192.168.50... IP. The DDNS settings look good, the correct DDNS name is displayed on the Network Map page. The WAN port forwarding looks good.

Is anyone else having good luck using the ASUS DDNS service?
Is it reliable?
Should I use another DDNS service, not ASUS?

Thanks, Ken

I'm in the same boat as you, must be ten years plus with asuscomm.com, not noticed any major issues to be fair, although had the occasional hiccup with the Let's Encrypt certificate. Maybe I should try the afraid.org option, seems popular here.
