Some nice people have taken the time to write auto-updating clients for the DtDNS service.
The current specifications are
available if you would like to know how to write your own updater. Many thanks to the authors of
the following applications.
Please note that most hardware routers advertising dynamic DNS support are not made for our
service, and will likely not work with your DtDNS account. We have heard that the Draytek routers
do support our service, but are not aware of any others that do. When in doubt, use one of the
software updaters listed below.
DU is a dynamic dns client updater. It runs transparently on your computer, it periodically checks your IP address, and when a new one is detected, it updates your domain(s) name(s).
DynSite for Windows is an automatic IP updater, it can update your current dynamic IP address on one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.) or access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a fully qualified domain name (e.g. myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) which will never change instead of using your IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you, whatever your IP address is, without needing to know it.
A tutorial is available to assist with configuration.
My Jip client is now ready for the dtdns update. The
client was written in java and supports windows, Mac,
Linux, Os2, unix. It has been tested on these platforms
and hence proven to be useful. It is a FREEWARE.
MannADT is an auto-updater for
the free Darktech Dynamic DNS
(DtDNS) service. It has built
in IP detection for Dial-Up &
Cable/DSL users, and external
detection for everyone else.
What is BBSip? BBSip is a free client application available to update your favorite Dynamic DNS Service. Written for the Darktech DNS Service (DtDNS), it allows you to keep a constant hostname that you can remember instead of the changing IP addresses your ISP assigns you. With this application and the DtDNS Service, you will be able to host web pages, run game servers, or even host a BBS service right from your own home.
The program runs as a REXX script under OS/2, and requires
the REXX library and REXX Socket library. These libraries
will be loaded automatically by the script if required. In
addition, IPUPDATE uses the NETSTAT program supplied with
OS/2 for determining the current ip address of the system.
dtdnsclient is a dynamic DNS update script for use with the DtDNS service at www.dtdns.com. This script is meant to be used on Linux systems, and was adapted from the script mpupdate, found at the DtDNS site.
New IPSnoopy client.
Simple and easy. Just enter your site name and click update.
The client can monitor your ip address and change dtdns on scheduled intervals. Code upon request.
I will be glad to add any new features if anyone wants them. Requires the .NET Framework to run.
Basic updater written in Perl, makes use of SSL encryption to update your IP address. Will test the IP against nslookup before sending to reduce wasted bandwidth.
It isn't nothing big or really different from the other console update clients.. but it looks good!.. i used an example from one of the other update clients.. just fixed a few small bugs. Includes C source code and makefile.
I have written a script in Python (2.0) for use with my own accounts
and it has proven itself to
be useful and stable.
It would interest me if other people find so as well.
In case you are interested in showing an example of a Linux update client
that gets the current IP with SNMP from a Cisco 800 series router, please
feel free to post the included bash-script.
I developed this program because for what I needed I was not satisfied with some other products that are available. For this reason I made heavy demands on my own product. But I know, that other user's expectations may be different, of course.
NOTE: The rating for this client was reset due to thousands of abusive votes from the same subnet.
NOTE: Aug 4, 2004 - Link to client was removed due to another round of abusive votes from the same subnet.
