How many people are effected by this? Straw Poll: Please raise your hand (read: reply) if you are effected. Please include any features you'd like to see in a replacement. I see at least the following requirements: 1) Compatibility with existing equipment. 2) The ability to use your own domain name. 3) Be secure. I ask, because reviewing dyndns-server-perl [1] makes me think that it's possible (read: not hard) to host this for other people. 1) It seems to use HTTP's basic authentication to protect the script (interface) that (initiates) the updates. 2) This can be a glorified gateway into RFC standard Dynamic DNS updates. (Which are trivial to support.) [1] https://github.com/mnalis/dyndns-server-perl -- Grant. . . . unix || die

I welcome suggestions for a replacement provider. -chuck I use Duck DNS. I can't really say much about it though. I just signed up last month. So far it works fine. It's free. The DNS name changes fairly soon after my home IP updates. It works with my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter. The biggest negative I have so far is that you have to use the x.duckdns.org hostname. One that uses a name of your choice (and registration) would be nice. Do any do that? For free? Or cheap? I didn't dig real deep into providers. -- John H. Reinhardt

I welcome suggestions for a replacement provider. I was just investigating free alternatives myself earlier today. (I have not yet come up with a conclusion.) I currently use the free he.net ivp6 tunnel so I may already be set up for their free DNS service, but I don't know yet. (I can recommend the tunnel.) Most of the articles on the web mention: Dynu, afraid.org, Duck DNS, and No-IP among a few others. The latter sounds like they are really pushing their paid model, though. (OTOH each of the above has paid tiers for all but the most basic users.) If you are using pfSense like I am, they already support: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/dns/dynamic-dns.html I would be happy to hear of actual experiences with any of these. mcl
OT: the end of Dyn DNS
Now that Dyn has been absorbed by Oracle I need a new DNS service for my vanity domain. I welcome suggestions for a replacement provider. -chuck

Reinhardt Yes, and whilst Jim would keep them safe, they are only accessible there one weekend in two, and not through the week. Could really do with a UK RSTS person to take and scan. Dave
