I'm probably just missing an obvious page or file. My current understanding is:
1) edit **/etc/IPdetect/IPdetect.conf**, in my case using the 'last' and 'browser' settings.
2) get the code or URL from your dynamic dns service that signals them that your ip address has changed
3) edit **/etc/IPdetect/change_run.sh** and add the service's script or URL to update your entries
In my case, using freedns.afraid.org, I retrieved their generated "Direct URL" for my domain from and added **curl -silent http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?azR2<more random chars>BA==**
to /etc/IPdetect/change_run.sh
Oh, and I uncommented the IP\_CHANGE\_EXEC setting in the conf file.
Is there a tutorial that I've missed that spells things out like this, and where I can reality check if I've missed anything?
