DonDNS - Free Dynamic DNS Service

    DonDNS for FreeBSD

    Download from GitHub

    1 Introduction

    With the free DonDNS script, you'll have your PC accessible from everywhere, even if your ISP changes your IP address on every connection.

    Use one of your domains as a CNAME to access your PC from the Internet. You won't need to remember your IP address anymore.

    Based on the 0.9.1 version from Borja Ruiz Castro (borja at libcrack.so)
