Running current OS 6
What are folks using for Dynamic DNS? I have my account on no-ip but having difficulty finding a client I can run on my NAS.

Re: What are folks using for Dynamic DNS (no-ip) client?
I haven't used it for a while, but DDClient worked for me. If your router supports it, though, that's typically a better way to go. See the configuration that worked for me in this thread:
DDClient-by-WhoCares-I-hope-this-one-will-work.
That was when I was still running RAIDar 4.2.x on a Pro6, but I think it should still work. Lots of guidance you can Google, too.

Re: What are folks using for Dynamic DNS (no-ip) client?
I use no-ip with my ReadyNAS NV+ and it works fine. My ISP (BT in the UK) does not offer Static IP addresses unless you pay them a fortune!
My router has a dynamic IP WAN process, which checks the WAN ( outside IP) addess and advises no-ip.com when it changes. You configure it for Dynamic IP and choose your supplier, enter username and password. I think this is a standard feature of Routers.
My ReadNAS NV+ has a local fixed IP address 192.168.0.30 and I have set up a port forwarding to the ReadyNAS and it works fine.
No special software needed for the ReadyNAS.

Re: What are folks using for Dynamic DNS (no-ip) client?
Try DNSOMatic. It supports more than one "client" and registrar. You can have them all sync together or not... I use it in my Asus Router DDNS update. You shouldn't have to run it on your NAS but you can as a script if you prefer. Router config should be easier as I think it's a standard feature these days in modern routers. Then as the post above indicates, use port forwarding to your NAS. There's some DNSOMatic plugins too I believe... see: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Community-Add-ons/DnsOmatic/td-p/675811
