We offer a simple shell script for Linux to keep your dynamic IP address up to date.
The first step is to create the dyn-ip record via our control panel. You can do this in the technical settings of your domain name. In our example, we intentionally use an incorrect IP address. This way we can easily check whether the update was performed correctly.
Do you only use IPv4? Then leave the box for the IPv6 empty. If you want to link an IPv6 address in addition to an IPv4 address, you must also fill in the IPv6 box via our web interface at least once. If the IPv6 address is not entered via the website, automatic updates of the IPv6 will be ignored.
Then download dynIP.sh.zip
Extract the file and make sure the program is executable:
chmod +x dynIP.sh
Run it like this:
./dynIP.sh dyn.yourname.be password IPv6
or if you don't want to use IPv6:
./dynIP.sh dyn.yourname.be password
You should of course change the parameters dyn.yourname.be and password to your own data.
Be sure to check if the update was successful. If everything works, make sure the script is called every 5 to 15 minutes. Attention: don't let it run more than once a minute.
