Hello,
I don’t know if it’s just me or duckdns.org is actually down for everyone else. I can’t nslookup my domain name also can’t access my website.
Edit: It’s back on :)
Yeah I switch to my own domain and Cloudflare some time ago because Duckdns is down too often.
freedns is good too but I ended up buying my own domain the other day for like 4 quid and now all my services get a much nicer name and unlimited DNS records
“unlimited DNS records”??
That’s like saying “I bought a house and I get unlimited door opens”
If you buy a domain you have full access and control over all of it.
A .com domain should only cost around $13/yr USD, and other TLDs can be even cheaper. There’s really no good reason to use some service that limits control and access just to save so little.
Ipv64.net is an alternative, just in case you want to switch some day I had problems with duckdns as well. Never had problems with ipv64

Seems to be online, but honestly duckdns isn’t exceptionally reliable…
Check out hurricane electric. You can activate any A record as a DDNS record: i.xno.dev/u/fpaXcG.png
Once the A record is activated, they’ll give you a key that you can simply update with
curlor something similar. I created a function for my shell and just run it via crontab;
