Req: no-ip DDNS

[lapasta]

Hi,

Is it possible to add no-ip.com as a choice of DDNS service?
I have already used it, and the free version works really nice.
I've tried to use the available DDNS services (those that are free) and couldn't get no one to work.

Thanks,

Leonardo

Hi lapasta.

We will look at that.

But I am surprised that no other free DDNS works with your NAS.
dyndns.com works fine with me (nwsp1 and nwsp2) :scratch.

Note : I quicky look at if no-ip can be added. The firmware uses an old binary (ez-ipupdate) which is no longer updated for many years. The changes will be less simple because we will have to use another binary : updateDD seems to be a good candidate.

UpdateDD DDNS supports : changeip.com, dyndns.org, eurodyndns.org, hn.org, no-ip.com, ods.org, ovh.com, regfish.com, tzo.com

if you want use no-ip service, follow this steps.. (another way, for old firmwares)

1. open no-ip account, i use zapto.org
2. select cronjobs tab and setup a job, times, range vs...
3. write this command

Code: Select all

wget "http://username:password@dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?hostname=yourhostname.zapto.org" -O /share/1000/result.txt

thats ok.

hi guys.

it's an honor to me to have this firmware u developed. great thx to all!!

n back2topic - the post up is old, but belated:
i'm using firmware 14.x with spd8020. i use no-ip for dynamic dns as well.. in lan settings still no-ip.org is not available in ddns provider list. any possibility to add? or do i need to try this upper workaround? am i right that this would cause a permanent cron job to get my wan ip from my no-ip account from time to time..
1. by transmitting my user n passwort in plain every time the cronjob is running (means a security issue to me)
2. (as i tried once) it writes my current wan ip into a txt-file on my share, n then i need to somehow read/use the file n do further steps.. i donno right now how i can then use this information for further steps to set up ddns n stuff.

thx4help.

Hi send_12,

Yes, no change yet with version14.0. Currently, our DDNS updater is no longer upgraded by the developpers. So we must find another DDNS binary. As many routers or ISP box provide this feature this is not an high priority in the todo list.

So you must use the trick with cron. There is no really a safety issue because all DDNS updater sends your login and passord in an url to the DNS provider. So there is no difference. But may be no-ip supports an HTTPS access and you can try to use it (change https instead of http in the cron job)

Normally,you have nothing to do : this cron job asks your provider for updating your DDNS account : when you login, the provider finds your IP and if it's different then the provider updates your DDNS.

And happy new year 2013
