![]() With a commercial hosting service (i.e your domain sits on their server) and there's(plenty of really cheap ones around - depending on what you want to do then you don't need this stuff any way as it's all handled by the hosting service own DNS to propagate your domain around the Internet - and you can get free email too from these domains. Running my solution for a while will show you how often the IP address changes. If the server is on cable it's unlikely the IP address will change between boots. I'm sure that's the only thing these DNS providers do - any good techies around - try "Disassembling" / reverse engineering this stuff - sending an automated e-mail of your IP server address to yourself is hardly "Private proprietary" technology - any court wouldn't even give it the time of day !!!. 2nd step run a sendmail command to send it to yourself. On Linux run in crontab little job containing command ifconfig piped to a text file. Same for Mac users download Mac IP Updater. Not sure how you do it on windows but I'm sure there's an easy way to run a command every so often and then run email. For Windows users, we can use OpenDNS IP Updater just download and install. IPCONFIG is the command you need to run on windows.Ģ) send email / text message containing text file. Why not do it the easy way (for some) and it's 100% free.ġ) on your HOME computer / server run a job every so often - say every 30 mins or however often you think your ISP changes the ip address and put output in a text file. This should unfreeze the cerebral bit !!!!! Please refer to the following KB article for configuration assistance. After that, select Advanced Settings and then navigate to the Dynamic IP Update section, select Enable, and then select Apply. I liked using OpenDNS but I can't seem to figure out how to update the IP address when using their free DNSomatic service. Go to your dashboard, select the Settings tab, and then select your network. ![]() ![]() NameCheap or Google? Or something better? Registration seems to be reasonable - about $14 with privacy guard.Īnd there seems to be free opensource DNS update client updaters that will report IP address changes to NameCheap.īut I haven't used either NameCheap or Google so I was wondering what you guys are using to update your hostnames when using dynamic DNS. It doesn't appear to make you use one of their domain names or charge you for using your own domain name. Do you guys recommend a DDNS service that will update your own private domain name whenever your ip address changes? ![]()
