DDNS?
Hi All,
Years ago there use to be services that you could find your dynamic IP (WAN) address for use with remote access. Do these still exist and are they reliable? Many thanks, -T |

"Oracle is announcing the end-of-life for the free Standard DNS service in favor of the enhanced, paid subscription version on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform. On May 31, 2020, the 'EOL Date', the Standard DNS will be retired and will no longer be available." Commercial clients will be migrated to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with Dyn's free service (DynDNS or DDNS) ceasing operations completely. Many customers publicly shared they would not be migrating to OCI and considering alternatives such as NS1, Constellix, DNS Made Easy, Cloudflare, Verisign, and Rackspace. In addition to the technical changes, employees at Dyn's Manchester, New Hampshire location were laid off and the office space was put up for rent by the building owner. " Good luck with that. Paul |

The term is used to describe two different concepts. The first is "dynamic DNS updating" which refers to systems that are used to update traditional DNS records without manual editing. These mechanisms are explained in RFC 2136, and use the TSIG mechanism to provide security. The second kind of dynamic DNS permits lightweight and immediate updates often using an update client, which do not use the RFC2136 standard for updating DNS records. These clients provide a persistent addressing method for devices that change their location, configuration or IP address frequently. I actually do this on my Linux servers that I have a caching name server running. I link bind (dns) with DHCP and update the local DHCP with anyone who gets a new IP address, but obviously only on the local network. I once mistakenly allow my caching name server out on the Internet. Some poor guy with a host name the same as on my local area network got grabbed and was given a local IP. But only for about an hour. How he managed to see my DNS is a mystery to me. Poor guy must have thought he was losing his mind. Chuckle. |

I use it with RFC2316 updates to a local DNS server, then NOTIFY/AXFR updates to internet based DNS servers from a service provider ... allows a firewall to add/remove IP addresses for various services, hostnames as internet links come up/go down ... saves clients having to try and fail the dead servers and go straight to the live ones. |
