Wget Afraid - FREEDNS script help

Jeeva · Fri Aug 22, 2008 7:54 pm

Hi

freedns.afraig.org offers 'n Dynamic DNS service, but it order to do so, i need to be able to run the following linux script on the mikrotik. Is there someone that can help me out with it. Want it to update every 5mins and then delete the url it downloaded a few seconds later (otherwise i will sit with 288 entries a day)

Code from afraid.org:

rem my.domain.co.za
wget -q --read-timeout=0.0 --waitretry=5 --tries=400 --background http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?U3hWWThhdE8wcHFRMzN<rest of the url>

or I can just download the url:

http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?U3hWWThhdE8wcHFRMzN<rest of the url>

but it must also delete the url aswell

Thanks

change your code to

rem my.domain.co.za
wget -q --read-timeout=0.0 --waitretry=5 --tries=400 --background http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?U3hWWThhdE8wcHFRMzN<rest of the url> -O=afraid.org

added " -O=afraid.org" to write over the same file (in this case I called the file afraid.org, but you can change it)

Have you found out where to put the code?

In regards to using wget to update your dynamic IP address with afraid.org, I'm afraid (no pun intended) it is not possible at this time. However if you are running RouterOS 3.+ you can achieve this using the fetch tool as seen below. I currently run this on RoS 3.16 and it works with out flaw.

Note: The update token in the example below has been changed to protect the innocent and my router.

/tool fetch address="freedns.afraid.org" host="freedns.afraid.org" mode=http src-path="dynamic/update.php\?bnptVU90TjcTWDVsMjNlAMk81WUg6MzYyNjYxMg==" keep-result=no

Important things to notice/remember:
1. Parameter: src-path take notice of the "\" after the .php this is required to escape the ?
2. Parameter: keep-result - Can be set to yes or no -
No - By setting this to no we tell the router to ignore the response file from afraid.org
Yes - By setting this to yes we tell the router to store the result of the last update in /file with the name .php?<your-unique-token>

You can use the system scheduler to execute this script on a timed interval if you like.

In the latest version you can also use "/tool fetch url=..."

Does anyone use www.freedns.afraid.org DDNS services on Mikrotik devices? I'm trying to configure on a Mikrotik router to use the DDNS service provided by freedns.afraid.org but I didn't find any script or solution.

I use this simple own script. Just copy and run in command line. Than you have to update System/Scheduler script with your external interface and update key. This script gets ip address from pppoe-client interface. However, you can easily change that.

/system scheduler
add disabled=no interval=30s name="dynamic dns" on-event="/ interface pppoe-clie\
    nt {\r\
    \n\t:global ExternalIP\r\
    \n\t:local clientip\r\
    \n\t:local clientstatus\r\
    \n\tmonitor External once do={:set clientip \$\"local-address\"; :set client\
    status \$status}\r\
    \n\t:if (\$clientstatus=\"connected\" and \$ExternalIP!=\$clientip) do={\r\
    \n\t\t:log info \"External IP changed from \$ExternalIP to \$clientip\"\r\
    \n\t\t/ tool fetch url=\"http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php\\\?<put_key>\" dst-path=ExternalIP.txt\r\
    \n\t\t:set ExternalIP \$clientip\r\
    \n\t}\r\
    \n}" policy=ftp,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,api \
    start-time=startup

This was not work for me ... ROS v 5.14 ...

I was change interface to my interface name ad fetch url ...
Sorry Im to fast

It working !

In the latest version you can also use "/tool fetch url=..."

Thanks, that was easy enough. If anyone does this just make sure to escape the ? here as well, for example:

/tool fetch url="http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/updat ... ROMTHEURL="

Anyone know if it matters how often you send this request? It looks like the server tells you that nothing needs to update if the IP is the same so I would imagine it's fine to run this every 5 minutes or something.

@LESHIYODESSA

Thanks for the script, but I have problem with finding domain IP address because API call:

http://freedns.afraid.org/api/\?action= ... -HERE-----

returns:
ERROR: Could not authenticate.

Any idea why it does not work?

    \n\t\t/ tool fetch url=\"http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php\\\?<put_key>\" dst-path=ExternalIP.txt\r\

    \n\t}\r\
    \n}" policy=ftp,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff,api \
    start-time=startup

Is there anything that needs to be changed for RouterOS version 6.20. I tried this script, copied my key after question mark with = at the end and changed interface name to "pppoe-out1" since that is the name of PPPoE client interface in interfaces list. What am i doing wrong?

Thank you

I don't see the whole your script. Version RouterOS?

returns:
ERROR: Could not authenticate.

I don't understand what gives the error.

The script is 100% working on RouterOS 5.xx and RouterOS 6.xx

I done everything like LESHIYODESSA said. But I don't see any info at logs, it just appear one time when I run script.I just want to see if this works or not.
