Dynamic DNS update support for No-IP

My personal choice of a Dynamic DNS service is No-IP.

No-IP was one of DynDNS’s biggest competitors in the free dynamic DNS market, and now that DynDNS is gone they’re in a good position to snatch the crown for themselves. In fact, the two services are only one year apart in age (DynDNS launched 1998, No-IP launched 1999).
For a free account, you’ll get three subdomains on a single domain choice, but these subdomains will never expire as long as you confirm activity every 30 days. You also get port forwarding and URL forwarding, which can be useful depending on your use case. [ source ]

The story started when I received a new router from my ISP that didn't support No-IP. At that particular moment I decided to create a simple implementation of No-IP API into Jubito.

Now Jubito has a built-in function (%publicip%) that return the public IP address and a judo API that provides an update method for our hostname.

Let's proceed on how to configure your No-IP hostname.

In the settings menu, you will find a Dynamic DNS section. Click Setup, fill your hostname, username, password and save.

Next step is to create a new launcher that call the API for update. Expand Instructions menu and click on Add New Launcher. Give a name and type the action as follows:

judo noip update

We are now ready to create a schedule that updates the service in a given interval. Add new schedule and follow the screenshot, where interval sets the time of check (300000ms is 5 minutes) and action is the call we did in the previous step (launcher).

That was it. You are router independent!
