xProDDNS For Linux

xProDDNS is a freely distributed piece of software that works on all mainstream operating systems, including GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows, and aims to be a professional-grade dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) client.

Highlights of xProDDNS include encrypted databases, web-based user interface that is compatible with all web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Chromium, Internet Explorer, and Safari, mobile interface for smartphones and tablets, dynamic detailed log display, as well as native clients for all the supported OSes.

In technical terms, the software features support for hashed passphrase with obfuscated salt, support for multiple accounts, NICs, provides, and hosts, secure checks, support for updates, real-time email, notifications, text message alerts, support for exporting data to the XML and CVS formats, and context-sensitive help.

For GNU/Linux users, the software is currently distributed only as a universal binary for DEB-based operating systems, including Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and others, supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware architectures. To install it, simply download the package using the dedicated Download button above, save the file on your Home directory, double click it, and follow the on-screen instructions.

xProDDNS will install a server on your computer, running entirely in the background. To access it, you must open a web browser on another computer on the same network and type something like http://host-ip-address:8008, where you must replace "host-ip-address" with the actual IP address of the computer where you've installed xProDDNS.

During the initial setup, you must agree to the license agreement, set a new passphrase, and follow the instructions displayed by the built-in setup wizard that will pop-up when the application will load. For more details you can always check out the official website of the project.
