drivard/update-noip

Update your no-ip.com domain name through crontab

Reason

I created this script because my IP address does not change really often and I was bothered by the fact that www.noip.com sends email about your domain name expiring after more than 30 days without a change. To remedy this behavior I decided to write that script and run it into a scheduled job every 10 days.

How does this work

The script can be run every 20 days and it will force your domain name to update with a wrong IP address and a moment after it will update it with the proper IP address. This will bypass the expiration rule.

Installation

*Requirements This little script requires the requests python module from http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/

git clone git@github.com:drivard/update-noip.git

cd update-noip

pip install -r requirements.txt

# or

pip install -U requests

# or

easy_install requests
