FreeDNS Dynamic DNS Hosting - jonatello/lab-musing GitHub Wiki

FreeDNS (https://freedns.afraid.org) is an excellent site / service which is powered by FreeBSD. It provides (among other things) Dynamic DNS hosting. This can be really helpful in lab and development environments where you might not have a static IP assigned by your ISP. Some simple scripts and easy to follow instructions are provided in order to keep your DNS records updated with your DHCP assignment. All of the above are free if you sign up!

I'm keeping this as a placeholder to add documentation in the future.

Essentially, you will need to:

• Purchase / Register a domain with your registrar of choice
• Sign up for an account at https://freedns.afraid.org/
• Create a zone within FreeDNS
• Point your domain's name servers to the afraid.org provided name servers
• Configure the dynamic DNS script within your hosted environment
• Something like that...
