Dynamic DNS is a system which allows the domain name data held in a name server to be updated in real time. The most common use for this is in allowing an Internet domain name to be assigned to a computer with a varying (dynamic) IP address.
I use a free dynamic dns service to connect to my box's mythweb from remote locations. I suspect others do too.

My question is: Is there a preferred free dynamic dns service? What is everyone else using? If there is a preferred service, we could include the dynamic dns client software in knoppmyth so that it did not need to be re-installed after every upgrade.

The service I use is http://www.no-ip.com/ but I'd be happy to change if there was a different preferred service.

I use DynDNS too, although I've never figured out the best client to run on my KM box to update my IP number.

Hi,

I have been using no-ip for static and dynamic hosting, as well as mail port redirection for about 5 years, and they have been great.

Why fix something that ain't broke.

I've been using dyndns.com for a couple of years. The client I used is the perl based ddclient:

https://sourceforge.net/project/memberl ... _id=116817

I using R5F27. Based on my installation notes, this is what you have to do to get it installed and running...

First install ddclient using apt-get.

Code:
apt-get install ddclient


Follow prompts to install ddclient. The debian configurator will update the client based on the local address. My local address is behind NAT firewall so I need to edit the configuration based on the global address the router sees.

As a habit, I overwrite the ddclient.conf with the last backuped verion. Here is my working ddclient.conf (with all my specific user information omitted). Edit to match your configuration.


Code:
# Basic HTTPS configuration file for ddclient
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf

daemon=3600
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
ssl=yes
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address'
login=<mylogin>
password=<mypassword>
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org
wildcard=YES
<my dynamic dns name e.g. me.homeip.net>


Next I restart the ddclient.

Code:
  /etc/init.d/ddclient restart


This has been working reliability for me for some time. Hope this helps!

That's the combination I've been using for several years at a
couple different sites (though ddclient isn't running on a KM
box). I tried to get the dyndns support working in opnewrt,
but never had any luck with that approach.

I use dyndns as well, but my router (a Linksys WRT54G, with factory firmware) has built-in support to update my IP.. No clients necessary :)

I use dyndns also. I was using ddclient for years, but my dlink router has it built in, so now I use that. I've never had a problem with ddclient nor my router updating my ip.

Hi There,

I also use DynDns.org (I have always used it thru a router, Netgear, Liksys, and others). Never had a problem.

I more vote for dyndns.org. I have used both the hardware and software clients and have always been very happy.

I have been using no-ip the same way for about 3 years. I had to switch because my work's network did not allow DNS resolution from DynDns.org name servers.

I really like no-ip's service and have never had any problems with them.

Personally, I use DynDNS, configured in my DD-WRT-enabled router.

Handles everything automatically for me. :)

I'm using a router solution as well on my PowerBit SafeGate (also known as SurfinBird something). This works fine with my SIP telephony and MythWeb. The latter is set up to use https using this guide: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15796&highlight=

Cheers,

I use ZoneEdit.com because it allows free DDNS with the URL of my choice. It does not constrain the choice of URL, so I can use ILikeGovernmentCheese.com if it has not already been registered.

This is done through a DD-WRT flashed router and seems to work nicely.
