Godaddy-dyndns is a simple utility that is basically a DIY dynamic DNS. It checks the current public IP against a GoDaddy domain and, if they don't match, it updates the domain to point to the new IP address. Grab the latest release binaries for your OS-architecture from the latest release. What is Dynamic DNS? When computers communicate over the Internet, the send messages to each other in a manner much like the postal service and just like your local mail man, the computer needs to know which address to send your information to – this takes the form of an IP Address and will look something like '216.239.59.99'. Welcome to X.Micke Server. Login Your Account. Dynamic DNS is a DNS service, which provides the option to change the IP address of one or multiple DNS records automatically when the IP address of your device is changed dynamically by the internet provider. The service is also called DDNS or Dyn DNS in technical jargon.
Does the IP address my hostname is resolving to match my current public IP address?
Login to your No-IP account and click Hosts/Redirects at the top left of the page. You will see a list of domains/hostnames that are associated with your account. Next, to the hostname, you will see the IP address that we are currently resolving to. You can verify that this is the correct IP address by visiting Port Check Tool. This website will show you your current public IP address. If the IP address does not match the one listed by your hostname, you will need to manually update it to get your service working again.
How do I manually update my hostname in my No-IP account?
To manually update the hostname, login to your No-IP account and click Hosts/Redirects at the top left of the page. Next to the hostname that you need to update click 'Modify'. On the next page, under the Hostname Information window, you will see a location to change the IP address. Replace the IP address being shown with the IP address you received from Port Check Tool and click Update Host at the bottom right of the page. It will take 60 seconds for the changes to fully propagate to the new IP address.
How do I avoid manually updating my hostname in the future?

In this situation, it is recommended to use an update client that will automatically update the hostnames IP address when it changes. You will need to download No-IP's Dynamic Update Client. This Dynamic Update Client will track any changes to your IP address and allow No-IP to update them accordingly. You can also check to see if your device (router, camera, etc) supports Dynamic DNS and has No-IP as an integrated provider. If it supports No-IP, you can configure it to update your hostname with the correct IP address. This removes the need for downloading our Dynamic Update Client.
Note: This software must be installed and running at all times in order to continue sending us an update. If the update client gets turned off, or if the computer is shut down or falls asleep, the update client will stop working and we will not receive any updates.

Is the DNS server returning the right IP address?
If your hostname is showing the correct IP address, but you cannot connect to your device, the next step is to make sure that the hostname is resolving properly. The easiest way to test this is to run an NSLOOKUP command from a Terminal window. Open a command line window (Terminal on Linux, Command Prompt on Windows) and type the following: nslookup yourhost.yourdomain.com. Make sure to remove the quotations from the NSLOOKUP.
In response, you should see a message that looks similar to this:
The IP address that returns should match the IP address that is shown next to your hostname on the Hosts/Redirects page.
How do I configure my router to remote access my device, computer, etc?
First, you need to configure port forwarding on your router. You will need to know what port your application uses, and also the internal network IP address of the machine you're using to serve that application. Have a look at our Basic Port Forwarding Guide for more information on port forwarding.
Note: You should only open the ports that are needed to gain access to your applications. You will also want to make sure your computers have all the latest patches and security updates applied, in order to minimize the possibility of someone compromising your network.
What if my computer has a firewall enabled?
If your computer has a firewall turned on, you will need to configure it to allow inbound connections. If this is not setup properly any inbound connection of your network will fail. Among the more popular firewalls, is the one built into Windows-based computers. We have an illustrated guide that covers how to configure that firewall here. Please consult the documentation for your product to find specific instructions on how to configure its firewall service
Is my ISP blocking the port(s) I am trying to use?
The easiest way to test if your ports are open and properly configured on your end is to use our Port Check Tool. Simply put the port number you want to test, 22 in our example, in the box marked What Port?, then push the Check button. Our server will attempt a connection directly to your IP address and let you know the results. Anything other than a response like the one below indicates something is wrong.
A response that says 'Connection Timed Out' usually means that your router isn't properly set up, or that your ISP is blocking the port you're trying to use. Double-check your port forwarding configuration and repair it if need be. If it looks right and you still can't connect, try running your service on a different port and try the test again.
A response of 'Connection Refused' is indicative of a potential firewall problem.
What if a port is blocked?
If it turns out that the problem is being caused by your ISP's port block, you have a few options available. In the case of a web server being denied access on port 80, you can use the Port 80 Redirect feature of our Dynamic DNS service. The Port 80 Redirect is available as a part of any of our Dynamic DNS and Managed DNS packages. This allows you to specify a different port for your website to use and is transparent to your users.
If the ISP is blocking port 25, which is used to run an SMTP mail server, then we have different options depending on whether the block is outbound or inbound. You can find these answers in our knowledge base.
If you have any additional questions or if this didn't solve your problem please feel free to open a support ticket.

Logging In
To log in to Managed DNS, you will need to create a DynID, if you don't already have one.
Overview of Managed DNS
Dyn's Managed DNS allows you to see and manage all of your DNS zones and hosts in the same interface. You can assign different users to manage individual zones, handle billing issues and questions, and administer your account.
Identifying Parts of the Interface

| Set up my first Managed DNS Zone. | There are several ways to set up zones on a new account. These instructions are for manually setting up your first zone directly in the Managed DNS interface. |
| Add Users to my account. | You can have one user as the billing and account administrator, or you can split those duties between two separate administrators. You can also have users that manage a single zone within your account. |
| Import a zone file. | A second way to set up zones in your new Managed DNS account. If you are migrating your managed DNS from another provider to your new Dyn Managed DNS account, you can download your zone information from your current provider and upload that file into your new Managed DNS account at Dyn. This will save you time, especially if you have many zones to add. |
| Transfer my DNS zones from another provider. | A third way to set up zones in your new Managed DNS account. If you already have your DNS managed at another managed DNS provider, you can transfer your zone information from that account to your new Managed DNS account at Dyn. |
| Set up Secondary DNS. | Having secondary DNS providers is a good safety precaution to ensure your DNS information can be provided in the event your primary managed DNS site is off-line. These instructions show you how to set up your Managed DNS account to act as the secondary DNS server when you already have a primary DNS server at another provider. |
| Upgrade from Standard DynDNS to Managed DNS. | Use these instructions to upgrade your Dyn Standard DynDNS account to your new Dyn Managed DNS account. |
| Create a Reverse DNS zone. | Having a reverse DNS zone is a good idea for email server accounts where the email may need to be traced back to its IP address of origin. Use these instructions to set up everything needed for reverse DNS. |
| Add Records to an existing zone. | Different types of resource records provide information for different types of DNS queries. Each record type has specific information you need to enter. Use this information to create the records you need. |
| Publish my zone. | In Dyn's Managed DNS, any changes to a zone or creation of a new zone needs to be published in order for Managed DNS to use these new settings. |
| Test changes to DNS. | Information about tools you can use to test your DNS to ensure that your DNS changes have successfully propagated. |
| Delegate my zone. | Part of the zone creation process is to announce the location of the Authoritative Name Servers for your zones with your Internet Service Provider(ISP). This is called Delegation. These instructions give you the information you need to give your ISP to finalize the zone creation process. |
| Create a zone report. | Once your zones are created, you will want to keep a record of the zones you crated and how they are configured. These reports display the account zone information in several different ways. |
