How can I update my dynamic DNS under OpenWRT?

Question

I have an OpenWrt 10.03, and I need to update my dynamic DNS account (e.g., OpenDNS or DYNDNS) when my IP changes. How can I do this from the terminal?

Answer 1

You could look at using inadyn, a client to update your DNS entries.

There is a page about it on the DynDNS support site.

Alternatively, there is this line[1]:

curl -v -k -u user:password "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=&myip=$(curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org | sed 's/[a-zA-Z/ :]//g')&wildcard=NOCHG&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG"
