No-IP

A Dynamic DNS service is provided by No-IP. After signing up for the free service, perhaps with a hostname of ktware.redirectme.net, you can install noip2 or else configure your modem (some support DDNS directly) to keep the hostname synchronised with your IP address.

To configure the daemon:

$ wajig reconfigure noip2
Username: kayon@togaware.com
Password: *******
Interval: 10
Host or Group: kayon.redirectme.net
Network devince name: <blank>
Disable NAT: No
Shutting down dynamic address update: noip2.

Auto configuration for Linux client of no-ip.com.

2 hosts and 1 group are registered to this account.
Host kayon.redirectme.net selected.

New configuration file '/var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf' created.

Starting dynamic address update: noip2.

Using no-ip we configure the daemon with:

$ sudo no-ip -C

Auto configuration for Linux client of no-ip.com.

Please enter the login/email string for no-ip.com  kayon@togaware.com
Please enter the password for user kayon@togaware.com'    ********

1 host registered to this account.
Do you wish to have host [ktware.redirectme.net] updated?[N] (y/N)  y
Please enter an update interval:[30]  
Do you wish to run something at successful update?[N] (y/N)  

New configuration file '/etc/no-ip.conf' created.

$ wajig start no-ip

This is now setup and operating.
