 ====== DDNS ======
-The Dynamic DNS function allows you to have a private domain linked to a dynamic IP address. Periodically, as the IP address changes, a client module updates the binding between the domain name and IP address. In simple terms, Dynamic DNS allows you to have your own domain (or subdomain), and know the IP address associated with it at all times.
+The Dynamic DNS function allows you to have a private domain linked to a dynamic IP address. When the IP address changes, a client module updates the binding between the domain name and IP address. In simple terms, Dynamic DNS lets you have your own domain/subdomain, and know the IP address associated with it at all times.
 This allows you to access your network device and its services from anywhere on the Internet, since you don't have to know the device's (changing) IP address. FreshTomato includes built-in DDNS clients for the most common DDNS providers.\\
