It is useful if you need a DDNS client that can work with pretty much any DNS service. Most distributions provide <code>DDclient</code> in their official repositories. It is available on Debian-based systems, Fedora, Archlinux, and many more.</p> <p>In my case, I need <code>DDclient</code> for my <a href="https://ownyourbits.com/nextcloudpi/">NextcloudPi</a> server that runs on a Raspberry Pi 3B hooked up to a storage device. This server gives me access to my files anywhere anytime as long as it has a working internet connection. I&rsquo;m using a free DNS service from <a href="https://www.dynu.com/">Dynu</a> and in their <a href="https://www.dynu.com/DynamicDNS/IPUpdateClient/DDClient">website</a>, they go in details of how you would set up dynamic DNS using <code>DDclient</code>. It turns out that they use a <code>dyndns2</code> protocol by <a href="https://www.dyndns.com">www.dyndns.com</a> to provide this service.</p>
