I'm trying to setup ddclient on my ubuntu server to update my DNS records on zoneedit for when my public IP changes.
It's updating fine, the problem is that it's giving zoneedit my local IP instead of my public one.
SUCCESS: updating mydomain.com: IP address set to 192.168.0.17 (200: Update succeeded.)
My ddclient config file looks like this:
protocol=zoneedit1
use=if, if=eth0
server=dynamic.zoneedit.com
login='user'
password='password'
mydomain.com
Why is it updating to my local IP instead of my public one?
Update: could this be because I'm behind a router? If so, how should I configure ddclient to get the public IP?
ah - thanks. I presumed ddclient would use a remote server to get the IP, if anyone knows how to set this up that would be great. – Alex Coplan – 2012-02-13T10:42:41.777
