no-ip is like a middleman, it redirects the user. you use your no-ip address instead of your real ip address. an update program checks your current address every few minutes from a server. if it detects changes it logs into your no-ip account and updates your dynamic ip address currently on file.
everytime someone request your no-ip address no-ip hands back the real ip address which it has on file. example:
you setup your game server and tell your friends to connect to address www.no-ip.adam.com. when they request that address no-ip hands back 66.218.71.113.
here's something i always wondered. if im using a dynamic dns address to connect to my vpn and I am downloading a big file, what happens if the ip changes in the middle of the transfer? I figure my connection will be lost.
