R: OT: the end of Dyn DNS

[Mazzini Alessandro]

I use no-ip, the free version. And it's not particularly pushing the paid
option aside just suggesting it on renewal.
There's an email I don't even remember every how many months, requiring 2
clicks to keep the free subscription active, and that's all

I was just investigating free alternatives myself earlier today.  (I
have not yet come up with a conclusion.)

I currently use the free he.net ivp6 tunnel so I may already be set up
for their free DNS service, but I don't know yet.  (I can recommend the
tunnel.)

Most of the articles on the web mention:

  Dynu, afraid.org, Duck DNS, and No-IP

among a few others.  The latter sounds like they are really pushing
their paid model, though.  (OTOH each of the above has paid tiers for
all but the most basic users.)

If you are using pfSense like I am, they already support:

I would be happy to hear of actual experiences with any of these.
