General Discussion / Feature request (sort of): dynamic DNS - NoIP over IPv6?
« on: August 21, 2021, 08:24:20 am »
Not sure if this is the right part of the forum to ask but here we go...
I recently signed up to NoIP's dynamic DNS service so I could link it up to my OPNsense box. I notice that OPNsense currently supports linking your IPv4 address to your NoIP hostname, but not the IPv6 address. I don't know if NoIP's IPv6 service wasn't available at the time NoIP was initially added to the list of providers, or if it's been tested before but not included because of some issues.
In case it's the former I wanted to ask if it could be added, so I guess this thread is sort of a feature request. If it helps the developers here's a link I found to the details required for integrating their update service into 3rd party products, including the IPv6 related stuff:
https://www.noip.com/integrate/request
I tested this with my own hostname by resetting my broadband connection to get new IP addresses (I have both v4 and v6 enabled), then I copied/pasted their HTTPS update request link (modified with my account details, hostname, and the IPv6 address to be linked) into my browser to see if it updated my hostname's IP address. It gave a message that said "good <newipv4address>,<newipv6address>". I then logged into my NoIP account and both the v4 and v6 addresses got updated (maybe because I have both running on my network).
