DDNS Updater

Features

DDNS Updater keeps your DNS records aligned with your real public address when your ISP gives you a dynamic IP. Point your domain at home servers, NAS, VPN, or remote desktop without memorizing changing numbers. What you can do • Automatic updates — Push your current IPv4 and/or IPv6 to the DNS records you choose. • 60+ DNS providers — Including Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, DuckDNS, No‑IP, DigitalOcean, Route53, deSEC, OVH, Porkbun, and many more (full list in the app). • Dual stack — Configure IPv4 and IPv6 separately so both A and AAAA stay accurate. • Flexible IP sources — Detect public IP the way that fits your network (e.g. via URL or interface-style options where supported). • Multiple profiles — Manage several domains or hosts from one place; run updates when you need them. • Import & export — Back up and move configuration between devices or your own automation. • Notifications — Optional alerts when your address changes so you are not surprised by a stale record. • Looks the way you like — Light, dark, or system theme with Material Design 3. • Multilingual UI — Use the app in the language you prefer. Who it’s for Home users, small offices, and builders who self‑host behind dynamic IPs and want a straightforward mobile client instead of router-only or script-only setups. Privacy-minded Your provider credentials and configuration stay on your device; the app talks to your DNS provider and IP-detection endpoints only as needed to perform updates you configure. Note Background update behavior may depend on iOS battery and background policies; open the app or use supported scheduling as needed for your provider’s TTL and change frequency.
