Every device has a MAC address which most times is printed somewhere on the device. When you connect to the router, an IP address is assigned to the device such as 192.168.0.119. The DDNS is a service that maintains your service providers address to your modem.
The issue is that your service provider may change that address. If you know the address and port number you can use them to get to your port forwarded device. If you type in your browser, you will see your service provider’s address to your modem.
