Actually, this was removed a while back, as it wasn't being maintained, and 
I'm using a copy of the ebuild I saved locally.

Sorry for the incorrect information.

I like duckdns.org. You don't need to constantly renew it and you don't
need a client. You'll get a url that you can call from a cron job to
update it.

I've been using noip.com for years with no problems.

There is even an up to date version of their client in portage.

[gentoo-user] Dynamic IP address services.

2016-11-06 Thread Stroller
Can anyone recommend a free dynamic IP address service.

I've used DynDNS in the past, but I think they discontinued their free accounts.

I've been using DTdns.com until recently, but have somehow managed to lock 
myself out of my account, so will need to create a new one and thought I'd 
check here for recommendations first.

All I need to do at the moment is access a single host behind a home router, 
although it would be nice if there was a free service with room for 2 or 3 
hosts in case I need to add more.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Stroller.
