Plugin Installed or Not

[dcol]

I assume the dyndns plugin, which is installed by default in 18.1, can be uninstalled if dynamic dns is not needed.
There are no other services dependent on this one.
Correct?

Correct.

Dyndns was moved from core to plugins in 17.1, but people asked for it to be bundled with the installation again. Now it's a preinstalled plugin, something we want to have for more core functionality as well although not strictly necessary... would be nice to kick web proxy or intrusion detection or VPN for a small install.

And yes, dyndns has no dependencies. That's why we bundled it in 17.7 in contrast to Rfc2136, which requires Bind and we didn't want that in the default install anymore even if "only dormant".
