This package provides the No-IP.com Dynamic DNS update client.
When configured correctly, the client will check the local IP address at a
given time interval. If it
has changed, the client will notify No-IP.com DNS servers and update the
IP address for your No-IP/No-IP+ host name.
Canonical does not provide updates for noip2. Some updates may be provided by
the Ubuntu community.
