[leaf-user] EZ-IPUPD -> DynDNS.org blocked because of abuse

[cpu memhd]

As the topic says, I was blocked because of abuse:

"The abuse system automatically blocks any hostname that repeatedly
tries to update a hostname from the same IP. This is done to conserve
bandwidth and prevent computers from updating every 5 minutes,
regardless of whether or not their IP address had changed."

Does EZ-IPUPD attempt to update DynDNS at regular intervals or every
reboot? What should I do to prevent it from causing this problem? My
account will be "automatically deleted" if this continues. Thanks.

There is a file with a .cache extension on /etc. This should contain the
current IP address, and stop ez-ipupd from posting the current IP over
and over again.
Somewhere in the docs lies the answer.

I a while ago spent major time trying to get EZ-IPUPD to work and in the
end gave up and wrote my own scripts to do it.

The latest versions are sitting at here www.help.co.nz/leaf/check_ip.zip

I use it as follows:

Every 10 minutes /etc/init.d/multicron runs the main script
/usr/sbin/check_ip
this script checks to see it the IP of the domainname it finds in
/etc/dyndns.conf has changed and if it has then does a ping to that dyndns
name and double checks BEFORE updating dydns with the new IP ( had to to
the ping check as I too was getting abuse status ).

Now I dont claim to be any expert in writing scripts but this works and
works well on quite a few bering installed firewalls.

I'm always open for input...

I think the daemon mode never really worked (for Bering falvours).

I start it instead from ppp/ip-up (where in 99% of the cases I do have
a new ip address assigned by my ISP).

See for some info:

Well... it does work for me.

My ADSL IP rarely changes and still the daemon updates every 30 days
or so to keep dyndns.org happy.

But when the IP does change, ez-ipupd also does the job.

My advise is: read the docs. there are only about some 4 settings
you will need to edit in order to get it going for dyndns.org .

Try first without the daemon mode, it makes life easier!
