The truth

Single mode

In Single mode the application will provide a light, easy and intuitive interface. In this mode the application will use only one dynamic DNS provider which can be configured with multiple accounts and each account with multiple hostnames.

RealDNS

Provider failover mode

RealDNS

In Provider failover mode the user can chose to enabled any provider with the possibility to use all enabled providers simultaneously to perform updates. As in Single mode every provider can have multiple accounts and every account can update multiple hostnames with different IP sources.

Logs

All your actions and the dynamic DNS provider responses will be displayed on the log view. Every dynamic DNS provider has a separate tab in the log view so that you can differentiate all actions and responses of each provider. You can enable or disable the auto-update function from the log view and monitor the time remaining until auto-update function will execute the updates.
