DDNS Token & Auto-Update Setup

Your DDNS service comes with an API token that allows you to update the IP address it points to. You can do this manually or set up automatic updates.

Finding Your Token

1. Go to DDNS and click on your service.
2. Your token is displayed in the Access Token section.

Regenerating Your Token

If your token is compromised, click Regenerate Token on the service detail page. The old token will immediately stop working. After regenerating, update all scripts and clients that use the old token.

Omitting the ip parameter is the easiest approach — the server detects your public IP from the request. This works well for most home setups.
