Just got an email from #NoIP; they're raising their prices and the email is essentially telling me to renew my domains before the price hike so I can avoid it a little longer. The email says you can renew for up to 10 years at once to push the updated price down the road.

Updated prices take effect January 6th.

#GoodMorning! #Noip.com is offering a free #DynDNS service. Nice, no problem with that. You have to pay to update the record automatically, no problem with that.

The shit goes wrong when you don't update the record and your domain goes into "redemption" and you cannot remove it or prolong it again unless you pay...😅

It would be better not to offer a free service than make it a fucking trap to force users to pay. If I've ever cosidered paying - they've lost me.

So the DDNS scripts on my GL-iNet OpenWRT router were not quite reliable, so I decided to install the official #NoIP dynamic update client on my PiHole/VPN server to update my hostname. But, I remembered that inadyn had TLS as "optional", and NoIP themselves still have instructions on updating a hostname by literally putting your password in an unencrypted http request.

So, I did a packet capture on noip-duc. Turns out it does indeed use a secure https connection, 🙂

Because search is completely broken, I should probably just try asking here.

I'm looking for an alternative to using NOIP for my selfhosting journey. If there is a way to self-host an alternative I'm happy to give that a try and pay that cloud fee to a local company.

I have the three domain option at NOIP, but getting the 4th I need would mean jumping to the 10 domain tier, something that I'm not interested in doing.
