This is usually installed by default on most Linux and BSD distros, but if not use your package manager to install it. This script has one dependency, which is wget. The script can be run as a single instance with command line parameters, as a daemon, using crontabs (a utility for running programs on a schedule) or as a Linux service.
#No ip duc download mac os#
I'm running Ubuntu server so I'm using apt and nano, but this should work on anything POSIX based such as Mac OS X, BSD, any flavor of Linux - even the Raspberry Pi. Here is my how-to guide and documentation for setting this up. There was no output to the console or to a log file either to diagnose the problem that I could find, so I decided to go about writing my own, which really wasn't that hard to do using a bash script and a few simple utilities on my Linux box. I downloaded the source and compile it following the instructions, and it appeared to be running, but it never updated my IP address. Many routers have a built in NO-IP client, but my router doesn't support NO-IP, and for whatever reason, I could never get the client that NO-IP recommended for a Linux host to work. NO-IP then associates that IP with the domain name so services can be setup against the domain rather than the IP that changes. The removal of the noip2 Dynamic Update Client (DUC) from the repository is explained in Debian bug 653957.One of the problems was a security issue, described in Debian bug 601229. Dynamic DNS allows a domain name (i.e ) to use a dynamic IP by updating NO-IP with a new IP address when the IP address changes.
Typically, a domain name requires a static IP address to work. Most home and small office connections to the Internet have a dynamic IP, which means the IP addresses changes most every time the connection from the router is established.
For those less familiar with NO-IP, it is a free dynamic DNS service. I'm probably not the first one to do this, but I had a need to use NO-IP's dynamic DNS service so I could easily configure devices and computers to access resources on my LAN when I'm away.
