<h1>Help</h1> <h1>Help / FAQ</h1>
This is the help page <h2>Standards used?</h2>
<p>
We use:
<ul>
<li>Frontend Update-API: dyndns2 protocol
<ul>
<li><a href="http://dyn.com/support/developers/api/">dyndns2 api description on dyn.com</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.noip.com/integrate/">dyndns2 api description on noip.com</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Backend: dynamic DNS update (see <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2136.txt">RFC2136</a>)</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2>Easy update URLs</h2>
<p>
Explanation of parameters:
<ul>
<li>hostname: your fully qualified hostname, something like example.nsupdate.info</li>
<li>yoursecret: the secret you have configured for this hostname</li>
<li>IP addresses: we use the v4 and v6 localhost addresses in the examples, but
of course you need to use your real public IP instead of that.
</li>
</ul>
For browser / interactive use (will ask for username (give your hostname) and password (give yoursecret)):
<ul>
<li>http://nsupdate.info/nic/update (updates hostname to point to remote ipv4 or ipv6 address)</li>
<li>http://ipv4.nsupdate.info/nic/update (updates hostname to point to remote ipv4 address)</li>
<li>http://ipv6.nsupdate.info/nic/update (updates hostname to point to remote ipv6 address)</li>
</ul>
For browser / interactive use (give http basic auth username and password in URL):
<ul>
<li>http://hostname:yoursecret@nsupdate.info/nic/update (updates hostname to point to remote ipv4 or ipv6 address)</li>
<li>http://hostname:yoursecret@ipv4.nsupdate.info/nic/update (updates hostname to point to remote ipv4 address)</li>
<li>http://hostname:yoursecret@ipv6.nsupdate.info/nic/update (updates hostname to point to remote ipv6 address)</li>
</ul>
For browser / interactive use as above, but manually specifying the IP address:
<ul>
<li>http://hostname:yoursecret@nsupdate.info/nic/update?myip=127.0.0.1 (updates hostname to point to ipv4 127.0.0.1)</li>
<li>http://hostname:yoursecret@nsupdate.info/nic/update?myip=::1 (updates hostname to point to ipv6 ::1)</li>
</ul>
For routers or other dyndns2 compatible clients:
<ul>
<li>They must send a http basic auth header with hostname / yoursecret.</li>
<li>They must send a GET request to our server: nsupdate.info, path: /nic/update</li>
<li>We support http on port 80 (and soon also https on port 443).</li>
<li>URL args (all are optional):
<ul>
<li>myip=127.0.0.1 or myip=::1 (if not given: autodetect from remote_addr)</li>
<li>hostname=hostname (if not given: autodetect from http basic auth)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</p>
