DDClient - by WhoCares - I hope this one will work

If you like to use a secure address, why not use: https://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update

Didn't think that was the way to do it since none of the example templates I found included the http:// or https:// in the server= directive. I thought the ssl=yes told it to use https instead of http. But if it seems to work for you, I'll try it. Better to have the belt and suspenders in this case.

without skip=, but it's probably more correct to have skip=.

I don't have the skip= either. Haven't found any good explanation as to what it does and all seems to be working without it. But I only have one service to update, too.

I'm still waiting for the second update, as my IP address has not yet changed. I used DDclient to only update a currently unused redirect and kept the Windows No-IP DUC for the others until I see that the updates are occuring as they should as my IP address changes.
