Dynamic DNS Updater

[Killer360]

Are you still in need of one that works? I would recommend www.afraid.org. They have several updaters that really work well.

DynDNS works pretty well, but the client is cumbersome and difficult to configure.  I think iago was going to make a perl script and set it up with cron's to get around it.  Maybe I'mbwrong, though!

[iago]

Yeah, I did, but it stopped working.

I want to go back to no-ip, but I need control of all my domains for it.  And getting in touch with Lobo is difficult..

Ah.  Can't you make them aliases of a no-ip domain?  I guess you'd still need Lobo's credentials for that; however, it'd save you the transfer fee!

[iago]

Well, I'd just like to get control of the domain from him.  Then I don't have to worry about it expiring, and stuff.

Try afraid.org!

Try afraid.org!

no-ip hasn't failed a single time for me in two years.

A lot of routers have a built-in client, check there first.  If it doesn't, stop using a crappy router or find replacement firmware for it.

Meh.... whatever. They offer the same things.

My internal (wireless) router has a built-in client, but it's useless.  My external router is one I rescued from a refuse bin, and doens't support anything, which is the way I want it.


If afraid is the same as no-ip or dyndns, then no thanks -- the only reason I'm not on no-ip is because I don't control my domain right now (as I said).  So afraid is as useless as no-ip, and dyndns's client sucks balls.

I don't understand what you mean by 'needing control of your domain' for no-ip, could you elaborate?

Why would you use no-ip at all?

I mean, I don't own the domain right now.  "whois x86labs.org"

Why would you use no-ip at all?

To keep my ip up-to-date.

So... at the risk of inciting another argument, this site is on a dynamic ip? lol?
