Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nsupdate-info/nsupdate.info/issues/481

Various linux clients are available.

Are there any windows clients?

Or maybe someone has a working .bat or .ps1 script? I could call that from the task scheduler.

Sorry, I personally don't use windows, so I can't recommend anything specific (besides using a web search engine).

Just as a general comment: stay away from anything too simple. The dyndns protocol is way more than shooting a http GET against a specific URL.

If your client misbehaves, the service will flag it as abusive and will stop accepting updates until the abuse flag is reset.

There are a lot of services following this dyndns protocol (originally from dyndns.org IIRC), so there should be lots of client software. And if the server URL is not hardcoded into the software, but configurable, you can use it with nsupdate.info.

I also don't use windows, but my network has a windows machine, so I gotta do something about it 😄

Thanks for the info, I'll see if there's a client for one of those other services like you suggested.

Future readers: if you have a working windows bat/ps1 script please post here. Thanks!
