Dynamic DNS
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
In order to update dns registations when the local IP address changes, a Dynamic DNS service provider can be used.
|
|
Our `os-ddclient` plugin offers support for various services using the `ddclient <https://ddclient.net/>`__
|
|
software.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Before installing and using this plugin, make sure to register an account with one of the supported services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Installation of this plugin is rather easy, go to :menuselection:`System --> Firmware --> Plugins` and search for **os-ddclient**,
|
|
use the [+] button to install it.
|
|
|
|
Next go to :menuselection:`Services --> Dynamic DNS --> Settings` to configure one or more Dynamic DNS services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General settings
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
The general settings tab offers access to general options used by all configured dynamic dns services on this firewall.
|
|

Accounts
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
In the primary tab you can register one or more dynamic dns providers which will be used to update dns registrations
|
|
using an api call over http(s) to the selected service.
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
The local IP address used for this firewall will be obtained by querying one of the selected providers. Since ddclient
|
|
currently doesn't support dual stack (IPv4+IPv6) opertion, make sure to either select an IPv4 or IPV6 address
|
|
provider in the settings tab.
