No, not all are created equal... far from it. If ddns security is your goal, there's only _one_ real game 'in town' ... fortunately they're also a non-USA non-profit:

```auto
root@flint:~# cat /etc/config/ddns

config ddns 'global'
        option ddns_dateformat '%F %R'
        option ddns_loglines '250'
        option ddns_rundir '/var/run/ddns'
        option ddns_logdir '/var/log/ddns'
        option use_curl '1'

config service 'desec_ipv4'
        option interface 'wan'
        option service_name 'desec.io'
        option lookup_host '$myDomainHere.dedyn.io'
        option domain '$myDomainHere.dedyn.io'
        option username '$myUserNameHere.dedyn.io'
        option password '$myPasswordHere'
        option ip_source 'web'
        option use_https '1'
        option ip_url 'https://checkipv4.dedyn.io/'
        option enabled '1'

```
