[opensuse] Dynamic DNS provider
Hi, My home-domain is registered with zoneedit.com. Unfortunately, since a few weeks their dynamic-dns-interface does not work any more. They say :
If DDNS is critical for your business, it may be prudent to find another solution while we work to correct the problem.
While it's not critical, I am looking around for alternatives. I looked at some providers but the don't do dynamic DNS, or they impose their own domain-extentions. So what are my options ? Any references to providers ? Thanks, Koenraad Lelong. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Per and James, Sorry per the PM. Per, how do you manage this ? At the moment I use ddclient. Is this usable, or is something else needed ? Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Koenraad ddclient should be fine, but I'm not very familiar with it. For the dynamic updates, you only need to get a url. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, My main problem is how to detect when the IP-address is modified. I'll have to think about that. Cron -> wget a website that reports the ip-address, and then compare with the old, etc. Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The update would typically be triggered from a DHCP client script, but if that's not available, you could just do the update once a minute. You don't need to know what the IP-address is or if it has changed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Zoneedit would consider this "abuse" and suspend the updates for a while. I'll have to explore dns24.ch. Koenraad -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Koenraad. Some info --Glenn from/: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/ddclient
A Perl Client to Update Dynamic DNS Entries ddclient is a small full-featured client requiring only Perl. Supported features include daemon operation, manual and automatic updates, static and dynamic updates, optimized updates for multiple addresses, MX, wild cards, abuse avoidance, retry for failed updates, and status updates to syslog and through e-mail. ddclient can obtain the IP address from any interface, through a Web-based IP detection service, and for multiple routers using custom FW definitions. It also provides full support for DynDNS.org's NIC2 protocol. Support is also included for other dynamic DNS services. Comes with sample scripts for use with DHCP, PPP, and cron.

I just checked man dhcpcd and found this: Hooking into DHCP events dhcpcd will run /etc/dhcpcd.sh, or the script specified by the -c , -script option. It will set $1 to a shell compatible file that holds various configuration settings obtained from the DHCP server and $2 to either up, down or new depending on the state of . dhcpcd ignores the exist code of the script. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

*Many* dynamic dns providers have a script that reports the *present* dns and they adjusy your address accordingly.

Is your host name consistent? Mine is based on my router & cable modem MAC addresses and doesn't change unless I change hardware.

If you mean my reverse name, that depends on the IP I get from my provider. Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That's the problem with many ISPs. Depending on your needs, you may also be able to get by with IPv6. I have an IPv6 subnet with 2^72 static addresses (about a trillion times the entire IPv4 address space). I then use a 6in4 tunnel client in single address mode on my notebook computer, so that I can access my home network from elsewhere. Then just create an AAAA record on the DNS to point to the IPv6 addresses you use. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

James, I do have a native /56 ipv6 subnet from my provider, but at the moment I can't get routing to propagate through my linux-box. I should investigate further. So I set up a ipv6-tunnel (Hurrican Electric) on my linux-box. That works fine. Unfortunately, not everything works on ipv6 I'm affraid, so I still need an ipv4 address, and dns-resolving for it.

One thing I had to do was set up a rule in the firewall to allow IPv6 to be routed. Have you done that? Without that, I could reach the firewall/router, but not the network behind it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
I have put the setting my router. I put it after I registered for the free version. See attached. --Glenn

I think you misunderstand. I don't need the address of some dns-servers. I need a provider that does autorative dns for my own domain-name. Koenraad. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hello: It's not clear if you need a dynamic dns for your zoneedit.com address or you want another provider who offers dynamic dns. Dyndns offers different solutions for fee (www.dyndns.com, http://dyn.com//dns). No-ip offers free service but I am not sure they support arbitrary domain names, you might have to choose from a list (which is quite long) (www.noip.com).

I registered my domain-name some years ago. The authorative dns-servers are now from zoneedit. Since I don't have a static IP address, I need "dynamic dns", a way to update the ip-addresses of servers in my domain. Until a few weeks ago zoneedit was perfectly fine, but now they have problems, their update-system does not work any more. I will check dyndns, but I think no-ip does only allow names with their extensions, I will check also. Koenraad P.S.

I guess too. I think there is no provider who supports your own extension/domain name free of charge.
