howto get opendns auto updating change of IP address on ubuntu/kubuntu 12.04LTS & 14.04LTS
install ddclient
sudo gedit/kate and open etc/ddclient.conf
set it up like this
 | | |
| Quote: # Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf # # /etc/ddclient.conf use=web, web=myip.dnsomatic.com ssl=yes protocol=dyndns2 server=updates.opendns.com login=your login details password='your password' your openDNS account label | |
| | |
save that file then open
(while still in sudo)
etc/default/ddclient
set > run_ipup="false"
set > run_daemon="true"
save the file
then run in a terminal
sudo service ddclient restart && sudo ddclient
it will give you the IP details at openDNS
then to check if the service is running in a terminal write
sudo service ddclient status
i checked this after a log off, restart and close down/start up all was working fine ...
