Now we will specify the NOIP account that will be automatically linked to this account. Select the desired account and on the Advanced tab, check the Link to domain account checkbox, then click the Domain account button and specify the user account to which we will link this NOIP account.
It is not necessary to use domain accounts, you can also specify a local account or group.
