Is there any way to change the web server information from an IP address to a domain I acquired for it (frequencysniffer.ddns.net) without having to publish it?

I take it you want to access the server using frequencysniffer.ddns.net
Domain names are tied to your network outside address and not the inside address so you will have to setup the router Port Forwarding to allow access from outside your network? Use Open Port Check Tool -- Verify Port Forwarding on Your Router to test that the Port Forwarding is setup correctly. The ProScan manual should explain the setup. If not, see this manual on the port forwarding setup. Uniden BCD536HP Wi-Fi Stream and Remote Access Via Proscan Web Server Ignore the BCD536HP part and concentrate on the Web Server part.

If all is setup correctly then enter in frequencysniffer.ddns.net:5000 in the web browser. Assuming the Web Server is using port 5000.
If using a cell phone browser then turn off the cellphone WiFi so it will use the outside address.

Keep the Publish Server option unchecked.

I have done this already and the webserver is working fine (Didn't have to put the port in, as the domain redirects it to the IP address of the web server).
I was trying to figure out how to get my domain to show in the web server information, as indicated in the image.

My apologies for not being specific :)

I see now. That comes from the html DOM location.host property.
I looks okay here.

You could hide it or change it by using your own html/javascript code in the file "Web_Server_User_HTML.htm"

One last thing is where do I find the afore mentioned file? Its not in the Proscan directory.

If only I remembered HTML. I last used HTML a long time ago, so forgotten all the markup codes.
Javascript on the other hand, I am completely unfamiliar with.
I am sure I could google on how to edit it.

Thanks for the help.

It may be in the VirtualStore folder at C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\ProScan
if ProScan is installed in the "\Program Files" or "\Program Files (x86)" folder and not running ProScan in admin mode.
That's a windows thing.

Easy way to get to it. Click this button
