Recent Additions.
We've added the ALIAS record type! After many requests, we have added this much requested feature.. We've added the CAA record type! After many requests, we have completed the backend upgrades required to enable the CAA record type.
Dynamic DNS Additions.
Dynamic TXT records have been added! We've received requests for dynamic TXT records for use with Let's Encrypt Certificates. We've added them in using the same basic ddns syntax that we already provide with the difference being the use of 'txt=' in place of 'myip='. You will need to create the dynamic TXT record from within the dns.he.net interface before you will be able to make updates. You will not be able to dynamically create and delete these TXT records as doing so would subsequently remove your ddns key associated with the record.
We've added the Dynamic DNS 'Checkip' service! We've received requests for a checkip service. To bring us in line with some of the other dyndns services, we've added this to the dns.he.net family of services. To access the service just point your web browser or other web client to http://checkip.dns.he.net We've added Dynamic DNS support! We're working on smoothing out how it's represented in the UI and writing something that resembles documentation, but thought we'd push out what we have so it can get a little use. It's a pretty basic implementation and should work well for most applications. It works with 'ddclient' (or dyndns compatible clients), and with any of the command line examples. We'll update this page when the documentation is ready. (we're hoping to have it written soon. ). If you have any feedback on this new feature, please send them along to.
Here are a couple more examples that allow sending the password in the URL.
Note: The username is also the hostname. The password is sent using 'password='. This skips HTTP basic auth.
