Dynamic DNS Client

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but...will inadyn only work with the 4 providers in the drop-down list on the settings page of the web-if? (dyndns.org, no-ip.com, freedns.afraid.org & zoneedit.com)
I have a domain registered with namecheap.com and would like to use dynamic DNS with them.
Alternatively, the host IP can be updated from a web browser by accessing a https URL containing the host name, domain name and DNS password. Is there any other way of getting the box to access that address periodically?

I'm using it with mooo.com

Edit: Sorry, just checked and that is freedns.afraid.org
 
In theory inadyn will support any DDNS service that allows an ip address to be updated via an http request. You may have to roll your own configuration file if your provider is not one of those listed. https://github.com/troglobit/inadyn/blob/master/README.md has an example on using the "Generic DDNS plugin".

Here's a config file I use on my FOXSAT-HDR Freesat box for www.dsndynamic.org:

Code:
dyndns_system custom@http_svr_basic_auth
username <username>
password <Password>
alias <domain to update>
update_period_sec 600
background
log_file /opt/tmp/inadyn.log
dyndns_server_name www.dnsdynamic.org
dyndns_server_url /api/?hostname=
ip_server_name checkip.amazonaws.com:80 /

I see no reason why this should not work on the HDR-FOX T2 although I think the log_file entry has to point to /tmp/inadyn.log (without the /opt).
