DuckDNS - Free Dynamic DNS Service
DuckDNS is a free dynamic DNS (DDNS) service that allows users to map a subdomain underduckdns.orgto their dynamically changing IP address.

yourname.duckdns.org - Simple HTTP/HTTPS API for updating IP addresses (works with scripts, routers, and IoT devices)
- Automatic IP detection when no IP is specified in the update request
- Custom domain support via CNAME records pointing to your DuckDNS subdomain
- Multiple authentication options: Google, GitHub, Twitter (Reddit login discontinued due to legal request)
- Minimal data collection: only stores email, IP, token, domains, and target IPs
Technical Infrastructure
- Hosted entirely on AWS (Amazon Web Services)
- Primary server: 15.223.156.67 (AWS Canada - ca-central-1)
- 9 nameservers (ns1-ns9.duckdns.org), all on AWS Canada infrastructure
- Mail: Handled by Amazon SES (inbound-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com)
- DNSSEC: Not signed

History & Community
