+# No-IP Quick Setup Checklist
+
+**Domain:** houseofprayer.ddns.net  
+**Status:** Ready for Configuration
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start (5 Steps)
+
+### ✅ Step 1: Install No-IP DUC (10 minutes)
+
+1. Download: <https://www.noip.com/download>
+2. Install and login with your No-IP account
+3. Select `houseofprayer.ddns.net` and enable updates
+4. Verify status shows "Up to Date" (green)
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 2: Configure Router (15 minutes)
+
+**Access router:** <http://192.168.1.1> (or check router label)
+
+**Add 2 port forwarding rules:**
+
+| Service | External Port | Internal IP | Internal Port | Protocol |
+|---------|--------------|-------------|---------------|----------|
+| Church_Frontend | 3000 | 192.168.74.1 | 3000 | TCP |
+| Church_Backend | 5000 | 192.168.74.1 | 5000 | TCP |
+
+**Save and reboot router if needed**
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 3: Configure Windows Firewall (2 minutes)
+
+**Run as Administrator:**
+
+Right-click `configure-firewall.bat` → "Run as administrator"
+
+Or manually run:
+
+```cmd
+netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Church App Frontend" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=3000
+netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Church App Backend" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=5000
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 4: Start Servers (1 minute)
+
+**Option A:** Double-click `start-all.bat`
+
+**Option B:** Start individually
+
+- Double-click `start-backend.bat`
+- Double-click `start-frontend.bat`
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 5: Test External Access (5 minutes)
+
+**From your PC (should work):**
+
+- <http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:5000/api/health>
+- <http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:3000>
+
+**From phone using mobile data (turn off WiFi):**
+
+- Open browser
+- Go to: <http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:3000>
+- Select a profile and test the app
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Can't access externally?
+
+1. **Check No-IP DUC** - Must show "Up to Date" in green
+2. **Check router** - Port forwarding rules must be saved
+3. **Check firewall** - Rules must exist and be enabled
+4. **Check servers** - Both must be running
+5. **Wait 5 minutes** - DNS changes take time to propagate
+
+### Run diagnostics
+
+```powershell
+# Check if servers are listening
+netstat -an | Select-String ":3000|:5000"
+
+# Test No-IP resolution
+nslookup houseofprayer.ddns.net
+
+# Check firewall rules
+netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all | Select-String "Church"
+```
