EntryDNS.Hi, looking for a free dynamic dns I found that many providers are not free anymore, or have caveats in their free versions, like you need to log manually to keep alive your account or similar things.
Then I found
d y n d n s DOT it ... written this way so you will not think I'm spamming
Seems there are no caveats like those said before, and they have a page detailing the update protocol, seems it could be easy to modify the script
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Dynamic_D ... behind_NAT
to support that provider...
Is anybody using their service? Maybe someone has another ddns provider to suggest?
Get your code from their site... and then just do the following... this is written for 6.9 with error catching... if your doing it on earlier (like 6.0) then just ditch the :do and the on-error stuff. ... Fetch works just fine. I have it in a scheduled script.... its super easy since it will get your ip for you.How do you use entrydns?
Their website says you need to use a "PUT" http request, I've looked fetch tool and it uses only GET ...
:do {
/tool fetch url="https://entrydns.net/records/modify/<YOUR CODE>" \
mode=https keep-result=no
} on-error={
$logError "EntryDNS: Failed Fetching URL"
}I'm running it minutely on several sites... haven't had a problem yet. You "could" write it to check the IP before updating... you want me to write one to do that?Ok, seems really simple!
Do you just run it every 5 minutes or something like that?
Don't you check if your ip has changed before updating it? Most scripts I've seen, like http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Dynamic_D ... behind_NAT , check if the external ip has changed before trying to update it.
I thought that most services would consider this as an abuse, but if entrydns has no policy regarding this, I agree this is way simpler!

Really nice script, thank you...
Anyway, if this is not a problem for entrydns, I have no problems just updating every 5 minutes
Regarding your script, just a question: LocalSite is global because you need to still have it at the next script run, am I correct?
I tried, as an exercise, to modify your code since I'm behind nat , only one entrydns host, and I don't have other usage cases...
Obviously, you are much more skilled than me, I just tried to learn something tweaking your script, this is not to "criticize" it
Can you tell me if my simplified script below would work correctly?
Thank you again
ros code

There were a couple of versions where it would have been "nil" instead of "nothing"... I forget which though. It was like 6.4 to 6.7 or something.
I'm currently running it in 6.12. What problem are you having?i cannot make above scripts to work in ros 6.12.
can someone post a simple script to update entrydns.
What do you mean the exact code. I'm using that script with my token in it.Does not update. Can you give me the exact code to put in the script.
I tried setting with my token but it does not update
Because the script is wrong. Look at the one I posted....i am using this script.
is there a line that i should put my dialup pppoe interface? my ip interface that i want is "pppoe-out1"
of course i put my token in the place "INSERT_TOKEN_HERE"
