Dear friend,
There is another way to update your IP address without the use of the no-ip
client.
I use lynx and it does just the same. Lynx is part of a regular OBSD
install. You can run it, for example, with your connection script (like
ppp.linkup) or after a reboot in the rc.local. Also, you can create a job
with crontab to run the command in a week basis, for example.
The command line is something like that:
# lynx -dump -accept_all_cookies -auth=mailb...@domain.com.br:\password
http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?hostname=host.no-ip.info&myip=`ifconfig
tun0 | grep 'inet ' | awk '{print $2}'`
In my case, I use this line within a script and I redirect the output of
this command to another file. If something goes bad, then there is a job
running every 30 minutes that tries to update the information in the NO-IP
service.
