## What linked IPs are and why they are useful

Not all devices can support encrypted DNS protocols. In this case, users should consider setting up unencrypted DNS.

You can use a **linked IP address**: in this setup, the service will consider all standard DNS queries coming from that IP address and for that specific device. The only requirement for a linked IP address is that it must be a residential IP.

## Dynamic DNS: Why it is useful

Every time a device connects to the network, it gets a new dynamic IP address. When a device disconnects, the DHCP server reassigns IP addresses to the remaining devices. This means dynamic IP addresses can change frequently and unpredictably. Consequently, you'll need to update settings whenever the device is rebooted or the network changes.

To automatically keep the linked IP address updated, you can use DNS. AdGuard DNS will regularly check the IP address of your DDNS domain and link it to your server.
