Basic security question about ddns

Signup for deSEC, SSH into your Flint. Install those required opkg packages. Use nano to copy the template & substitute your ddns account details accordingly (nano /etc/config/ddns). Then service ddns enable; service ddns start … & you’re done.

You can do this all fr LuCI using

• LuCI → System → Software → [ search for ea. $packageName ] → Install → (Repeat).
• LuCI → Services → Dynamic DNS → [ Add new service ]
  • Name: desec_ipv4
  • IP Address: IPv4
  • Provider: desec.io
    • etc., etc., etc.

… but it really is much faster to just copy that above template & updated it to your new ddns. It’s all ‘set it & forget it.’

Thanks a lot

This way means that desec ddns operation is manual (start, stop, whatever) s manual instead using the Flint interface, isnt it? (ths is not a problem, just to know).

Edit: What is GTFO?

It’s a pair of required commands need to activate the service, in this case ddns, on all future reboots. start indicates to start the service immed.

It needs to be executed once… but yes, you could click around in the the Flint’s LuCI interface & find buttons that do the same thing… if you’ve got time on your hands, of course!
