HONKIPOne name.
Always home.
Your home's internet address keeps changing. A HonkIP name follows it, so your cameras, NAS and game server are always one name away.
Set up in five minutes
You do it once. After that your router keeps your name up to date on its own.
Pick a free name
Choose something short you'll remember, like smith.honkip.com. Your first name is free and never expires.
Tell your router
Pick your router from our guides. Your name and update key are filled in for you, ready to copy.
Reach home from anywhere
Type your name into your camera app, file app or game. When your address changes, the name follows.

Not sure your router can do it?
Most home routers can. Pick yours for the exact settings, step by step. No router access? A PC, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home works too.
Router not listed? Most routers have a Custom setting: see the general guide, all setup guides, or ask us at support@swearguard.com.
Questions
- Is the free name really free?
- Yes. One name, no card, and it never expires. You don't have to click a link every month to keep it.
- What if my router can't send updates?
- Any device at home that stays on can do it instead: a Windows PC with our small app, a NAS, a Mac, or a Raspberry Pi. The setup guides cover each one.
- How fast does my name follow a new address?
- Within a minute of your router or device checking in. Most check in every five minutes.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. Plus links 1 domain you already own and Pro links 3. Point the whole domain or just one name at your home, and manage its records here.
- Does HonkIP see my internet traffic?
- No. We only keep your home's address so your name can find it. Your traffic goes straight to your home.
- Who runs HonkIP?
- GooseLabs, a small software company in South Africa. Prices are in US dollars. You can see our servers working on the status page.
