 There are two parts to a Dynamic DNS service:
 
 1. You have to register with a Dynamic DNS service provider and obtain a domain name that is not already taken by someone else.
 2. Something on your side of the network needs to propagate updates so that your chosen domain name remains in sync with your router's dynamically-allocated public IP address.

 Remember, the Domain Name System is a *distributed* database. It takes *time* for changes to propagate. The response you get from directing a query to ns1.duckdns.org may not be the same as the response you get from any other DNS server. You often have to wait until cached records expire and a recursive query reaches the authoritative DuckDNS name-servers.
