Ive been using their free account for well over a decade to access my house. looks like ill be looking for a new home. anyone have suggestions?

No-IP.com is a great alternative free dynamic DNS solution. You can learn more about us here https://www.noip.com/blog/2014/04/07...dns-customers/

DNSdynamic looks nice. They're even using the DynDNS update API/protocol.

afraid.org

cheers,

Using NO-IP.com for quite some time here without any problems.

many thanks all.

question, does no-ip work like dyndns for IPCop? im not running a client on my workstation, i need the DDNS running in my hardware firewall.

bad news
Now I'll move to no-ip.

Hi,
+1 for afraid.org. I made the switch some time ago when dyndns changed their policy to require manual logins to keep the account active. Using afraid.org is a little different to dyndns but once you spend the time to learn how to set it up it's very good.

oh and i answered my own question. no-ip.biz is supported natively by IPCop and i would guess also IPFire. no need to run a silly desktop client.

I used no-ip for five years or so when I self-hosted my website (up 2005-2010).

I never had a problem, their on-line HOWTOs were excellent, and, the one time I called them on the telephone, they were very excellent.

I had/have an account with DynDNS for years as well, it was much more pleasant than noIP since it did not require to log-in to the account every 30 days or so to prevent it from expiring, and losing the free alias or subdomain.
Finally, about 4-5 years ago I went with a inexpensive shell/web/db hosting provider, which allows to modify the dns records from the shell.
So I wrote an API that allows me to update the dns records via a single web request ( security via a domain_key ) . Since then I basically did not touch it and all the systems that I need to have access to ( family and friends ) register, update their A records on demand, event driven, or after certain period of time.
The service provider is large, located in Poland, provides also VPN, and proxy exits on about 40 different IPs around the world... for a very low price...
They run on FreeBSD, at least on systems that I got access to.... http://www.mydevil.net/en/ ( divide PLN by 3 to get pricing in $$$ )
( I am not in any way trying to advertise the service - I am just one of their happy customers, who values the FREEDOM of development on Linux )

+1. I just moved over from dyndns.
