Configure Dynamic DNS service with dynu.com as provider

[Lucas Rey]

Hello community,
I'm a paid member of dynu.com. They provide a lot of service and I'm interested on their DDNS on FreeNAS.

On service configuration there is no dynu provider (I tried to configure no-ip and it works perfect). Anyone with dynu subscription who configure it on FreeNAS?

Thank you
Lucas

Well, until I find a way via GUI, I just used the API from dynu site.
I created a script in crontab like:

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
curl "http://api.dynu.com/nic/update?hostname=myhost.dynu.net&password=APICREDENTIALS"

We have to generate API credentials here:
https://www.dynu.com/ControlPanel/APICredentials

It works perfect!

Does this still work for you? I noticed that there is references to OAuth in the API docs now?

Sure, still works.
Encode your Dynu password here (MD5): https://www.dynu.com/NetworkTools/MD5
Then you can login as root and try on console:

Code:

curl "http://api.dynu.com/nic/update?hostname=myhost.dynu.net&password=ENCODEDPASSWORD"

Just change the hostname with the one you choose in Dynu and the encoded MD5 password.

Just want to correct you that the password is not the API credentials. It is your Dynu account password or IP update password. Like you said in the post below, the password could be MD5 hash or SHA256 encoded.
