DynDNS — dynamic hosts

Creating DynDNS records in a zone, update credentials and use with a router or script.

  1. Prepare the zone

    The DynDNS host must be in a zone you manage through uAdmin (e.g. home.example.com within example.com). If the zone does not exist, create it in DNS → Zones before adding the DynDNS host.

  2. Create DynDNS host

    DNS → DynDNS → New host. Select zone and hostname (subdomain). The panel generates update username and password — save them for device configuration.

  3. Update from device

    Router, NAS or script sends an HTTPS request to the DNS server update port (8088/tcp) with hostname, username, password and current IP. PowerDNS updates the A or AAAA record in the zone.

    Tip

    The update port must be reachable from the network where the device sends changes (home router, mobile internet). Public DNS (53) remains for queries to your zone.

  4. Verification

    After a successful update verify the record in DNS → Zones → zone details or from a local machine: dig home.example.com A. Health check on DNS overview should stay green.
