This tutorial will show you how to set up ExpressVPN’s MediaStreamer on Google Wifi.

Before you proceed, please set up your Google Wifi.

Note: MediaStreamer does not offer your Google Wifi any VPN protection. If you would like to protect your Google Wifi with a VPN, you can connect your Google Wifi to a router using the ExpressVPN app for routers.

1. Set up and register your DDNS hostname

If you have a dynamic IP address, it means you are assigned a different IP address each time you log onto your device. Dynamic IP addresses make it difficult to use MediaStreamer, and can lead to various problems when trying to access online services. A DDNS can resolve this issue.

A DDNS (dynamic Domain Name System) provides a fixed point of reference, called a static hostname. This allows ExpressVPN to grant your device access to MediaStreamer, even if your IP address is continually changed by your internet service provider.

Before setting up MediaStreamer with Google Wifi, you will need to set up a static hostname using DDNS and register the hostname with ExpressVPN.
