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.
By default the service is enabled after installation,

Option Description

Interval The number of seconds address changes will be queried
======================= =======================================================================================================================================================================
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.
