About:
Inadyn is a lightweight, command-line dynamic DNS (DDNS) client that automatically updates DNS records when your public IP address changes. It supports a wide range of providers and protocols, including IPv4 and IPv6, with built-in SSL/TLS for secure communications. This makes it an essential tool for maintaining reliable remote access to devices on dynamic networks.
Key Features:
  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
  • Secure communication via SSL/TLS
  • Compatible with numerous DDNS providers
  • Lightweight and suitable for embedded systems
  • Can run as a daemon for continuous updates
Use Cases:
  • Hosting a personal web server or game server from a home network with a dynamic IP
  • Maintaining a stable VPN endpoint for remote work
  • Providing reliable DNS access to IoT devices behind consumer routers
Alternatives:
  • ddclient – A classic, widely supported alternative written in Perl, often pre-installed on routers.
  • cloudflared – Cloudflare's official daemon, which offers DDNS functionality but is specific to their ecosystem.
