NO-IP Client¶

See no-ip Dynamic Update Client of how to install a Linux Dynamic Update Client. The VPN is used to link the url dingx.gotdns.ch to a VM.

The Dynamic Update Client (=DUC) runs on the VM and checks frequently for an IP address change. When a different IP address is detected, the DUC automatically updates the hostname to the correct IP address.

1. Download and install the Linux DUC in terminal ———————————-a—————

cd /usr/local/
sudo wget https://www.noip.com/download/linux/latest
sudo tar xf latest
cd noip-duc_3.1.0/binaries
sudo apt install ./noip-duc_3.1.0_amd64.deb
