Install No-IP client on WD MyBook Live
Hello Debian list,
I've got a WD MyBook Live, and obviously, it runs a Debian-based OS. I would like to know how I could install the No-IP client, have it store the password in encrypted form, and automatically update its external IP every 4 hours. It is not supposed to be a difficult operation, but from what I read elsewhere, it can turn pretty tricky on this NAS as the slightest error will render it unable to boot, which is quite problematic on a device you can't dismantle easily and that still has a warranty on it.
As an additional requirement, what would be the software that would automatically open ports from the outside regardless of settings? I know that some software allow for such connections (TeamViewer, Skype), but none are free and they don't have the same purpose as this NAS anyways.
This NAS, correctly set up, would be plugged on any home network, update its No-IP alias in minutes, and present an anonymous, upload-only FTP server on the Internet side. How would I achieve that without bricking it as others did?
