DDClient - by WhoCares - I hope this one will work
Finally a new dyn dns client, D(yn)D(ns)Client, thanks WhoCares: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=62337 DnsOMatic - didn't work for all hosts (as promised) and used dum constant updates and we got warnings f...
I actually had a problem with it I didn't realize until today, it was not getting my ip from my router correctly. I updated my config file to the following and now seems to get the router ip addr correctly.
That being said, I also got an email from no-ip.com today saying that I have to manually click on a weblink once a month to keep the free account active. What a pain. I'm not sure why that is the case, could be that ddclient does not try to update it unless the ip changes, or something of that nature.
So two questions for everyone,
mail-failure=steve@myemail.com
# this gets our router's ip address from external service
use=web, web=checkip.amazonaws.com
protocol=noip, \
login=steve@myemail.com, \
password=xxxxx \
xxxx.servebeer.com

So two questions for everyone,
- Does anyone know how to make ddclient force an manual push to the provider once a month or so, in the case when the ip has not changed?
- Does anyone know which FREE provider does not have this annoying manual requirement once a month?
