Bug#920065: O: dyndns -- dynamic DNS (DDNS) update client implemented in Perl
just an update on this package.
DynDNS removed the free dynamic DNS service. To use the service now, one might need to create a new account and pay for the DynDNS Pro as states below:
"
DynDNS Pro: Connect remotely to your DVR, webcam, computer and plenty of other devices for just $55.00 USD per year.
"
However, it seems they are still supporting legacy API requests such as Update [1] as it is made on the code. Note that few parameters on the API are deprecated and ignored.
Moreover, functionality to other services are not working:
"
NOTE: as of 2010, the support for sites of hnorg, noip is probably
non-working due to changes in the interfaces. Please use only dyndns
at this time.
"
Finally, Dyn recommends to use their own dynamic update client [2] or to use another Perl script for that matter: `ddclient` [3,4]. It seems `ddclient` is covering a wide range of Free/Non-free domains services and it is actively getting updates.
`ddclient` is already packaged in Debian and it supports legacy API updates as well called ‘dyndns1’ protocol.
IMHO, making efforts on `ddclient` package seems to make more sense than `dyndns`
Hope that helps.
