-==== bind / nsupdate ==== +==== cloudflare.com ==== 
-Last updated: 2021-10-23+Last updated: 2022-09-11
  
-If you have your own domain and are running bind as your primary DNS server, you can use the [[packages:pkgdata:ddns-scripts-nsupdate]] package to update bind. There are two parts:+[[https://www.cloudflare.com/|Homepage]]
  
-  Configure bind to accept DNS updates using TSIG. +As of OpenWrt version 22.03.0, //ddns-scripts// supports the use of [[https://blog.cloudflare.com/api-tokens-general-availability/|API tokens]]. 
-  Configure OpenWRT to send DNS updates to bind when the IP changes.+API Tokens provide a new way to authenticate with the Cloudflare API.
  
-In the below example, we will use the following parameters+[[https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens|Create Custom Token]] by following the [[https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/tokens/create/|Creating API tokens guide]]. make sure to add "Zone DNS Edit" Permission to your custom token.  
-  * Domain name: **example.org** +You can also "include Specific zone" under Zone Resources
-  * DNS Server: **ns.example.org** +These allow for scoped and permissioned access to resources and use the RFC compliant [[rfc>6750#section-2.1|Authorization Bearer Token Header]]
-  * Router hostname**openwrt.example.org**+For more information on Token vs Key see the [[https://api.cloudflare.com/#getting-started-requests|Cloudflare v4 API]] documentation.
  
-=== Configure Bind === 
-The first step is to set up bind to allow updates to the ''A'' (IPv4) and ''AAAA'' (IPv6) records for **openwrt.example.org**. To do this, log onto your DNS server and run ''/usr/sbin/ddns-confgen -s openwrt.example.org''. This will generate the key and shared secret that will be used to update DNS. You should see output similar to the following: 
 <code> <code>
-$ /usr/sbin/ddns-confgen -s openwrt.example.org +service_name cloudflare.com-v4 
-# To activate this key, place the following in named.conf, and +domain [Your domainhere: example.com] 
-# in a separate keyfile on the system or systems from which nsupdate +username Bearer 
-# will be run: +password [Your API token]
-key "ddns-key.openwrt.example.org" { +
-        algorithm hmac-sha256; +
-        secret "B1m6Xb1ngrEeNFSExr8homgfzeN8kWIBkJpnoAHF5D8="; +
-}; +
- +
-# Thenin the "zone" statement for the zone containing the +
-# name "openwrt.example.org", place an "update-policy" statement +
-# like this one, adjusted as needed for your preferred permissions: +
-update-policy { +
-          grant ddns-key.openwrt.example.org name openwrt.example.org ANY; +
-}; +
- +
-# After the keyfile has been placed, the following command will +
-# execute nsupdate using this key: +
-nsupdate -k <keyfile>+
 </code> </code>
- 
-The two important things to note for the second part of the setup, on openwrt, are: 
-  - Key Name: **ddns-key.openwrt.example.org** 
-  - Shared Secret (Base64 encoded): **B1m6Xb1ngrEeNFSExr8homgfzeN8kWIBkJpnoAHF5D8=** (yours will differ as it is randomly generated) 
- 
-You then need to do as the comments in the output say and put both the ''key'' block and the ''update-policy'' block in the proper places within your bind configuration file (generally ''/etc/bind/named.conf.local'' or ''/etc/bind/named.conf'') and reload/restart bind. 
- 
-To test that bind is now properly configured you can run a test as follows: 
-<code> 
-$ nsupdate 
-server ns.example.org 
-key ddns-key.openwrt.example.org B1m6Xb1ngrEeNFSExr8homgfzeN8kWIBkJpnoAHF5D8= 
-update del openwrt.example.org A 
-update add 600 A 10.10.10.10 
-show 
-send 
-answer 
-quit 
-$ dig @ns.example.org openwrt.example.org A 
-</code> 
- 
-You should see no errors, and the ''10.10.10.10'' IPv4 address returned for **openwrt.example.org**. If so, you are ready to move on to the next step which is to configure DDNS on OpenWRT to send updates to bind. 
- 
-See also: [[https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced.html#tsig|BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual]] 
- 
-=== OpenWRT === 
-== LuCI == 
-To configure DDNS using the LuCI WUI, you will need to install the [[packages:pkgdata:luci-app-ddns]] package. Once you log into LuCI, go to **Services** -> **Dynamic DNS**. In the bottom section, Services, you will see two example configurations: one for IPv4 and one for IPv6. Click the **Edit** button, and enter the following information (based on the example config from above; but, use your own values): 
-  * Lookup Hostname: **openwrt.example.org** 
-  * DDNS Service provider: **bind-nsupdate** 
-  * Domain: **openwrt.example.org** 
-  * Username: **ddns-key.openwrt.example.org** 
-  * Password: **B1m6Xb1ngrEeNFSExr8homgfzeN8kWIBkJpnoAHF5D8=** 
-  * DNS-Server (on the Advanced Settings tab): **ns.example.org** 
- 
-Then click **Save**, followed by **Save & Apply**. 
- 
-Congratulations, if you did everything right, openwrt should now update DNS with the current IP Address for your router. 
- 
-== UCI == 
-If you are not using LuCI and want to configure manually, you will need to edit ''/etc/config/ddns'' as follows (using the example config from above): 
-<file [enable_line_numbers="true"]> 
-config ddns 'global' 
-        option ddns_dateformat '%F %R' 
-        option ddns_loglines '250' 
-        option ddns_rundir '/var/run/ddns' 
-        option ddns_logdir '/var/log/ddns' 
- 
-config service 'myddns_ipv4' 
-        option enabled '1' 
-        option lookup_host 'openwrt.example.org' 
-        option use_ipv6 '0' 
-        option service_name 'bind-nsupdate' 
-        option domain 'openwrt.example.org' 
-        option ip_source 'network' 
-        option ip_network 'wan' 
-        option interface 'wan' 
-        option dns_server 'ns.example.org' 
-        option use_syslog '2' 
-        option check_unit 'minutes' 
-        option force_unit 'minutes' 
-        option retry_unit 'seconds' 
-        option username 'ddns-key.openwrt.example.org' 
-        option password 'B1m6Xb1ngrEeNFSExr8homgfzeN8kWIBkJpnoAHF5D8=' 
-</file> 
-You can then add another stanza for IPv6, by turning on ''use_ipv6'' and changing ''ip_network'' and ''interface'' to **wan6**.

 +[[https://dns.he.net/docs.html|Details about their free dynamic DNS service]]
  
-FIXME +Background (who they are): Hurricane Electric (referred to as HE.net below) is one of the //original// supporters/pushers of the IPv6 internet (and also provide a [[https://tunnelbroker.net/|free tunnel broker]] if you want IPv6 connectivity but your ISP is in the stone-ages), and HE.net also run major internet backbones. 
-There is another [[docs:guide-user:services:ddns:hurricaneelectricfreedns|description]] here+ 
-take over the link during rewriting this wiki page.+HE.net is a great option if you //already// have a domain (or sub-domain) you can point at their 5 nameservers (ns[1-5]/dot/he.net).  This will need to be done **before** you can setup the zone (your domain or subdomain) up. 
 + 
 +You can then opt for one of an A (for IPv4) record or an AAAA (for IPv6) record //under// that sub-domain, to be updated dynamically by the ddns-service.  Security of this ability is provided via a 16-character api-access-key they can generate for you (or you can specify your own). 
 + 
 +If you don't have an HE.net account, you will need to [[https://ipv6.he.net/certification/register.php|open a free account]] 
 + 
 +If you don't already have a domain (or subdomain) pointing to HE.net 
 +* Go to the [[https://dns.he.net/|DNS management page]]. 
 +* Click on **Add a new domain** (on the left side-bar) 
 +* Enter your domain or subdomain (that should //already// have pointed to their 5 nameservers), and click the green **Add domain!** button (the page may take a few seconds to respond, do not click multiple times) 
 +* Next to the //new domain//, click the 2nd icon (the one that looks like classic-windows app + pencil icon) to **Edit** the records for that dns-zone. 
 +* Click the **New A** button (for IPv4) or **New AAAA** button (for IPv6). 
 +* For **Name**, enter only the part part before the first period in the FQDN (the part that goes //before// the domain or subdomain you pointed at HE's nameserver). 
 +* **//MAKE SURE//** you click **Enable entry for dynamic dns** checkbox **ON** 
 +* Click **Submit** 
 +* Click the //icon that looks like a small two-arrows// in a circle (pointing to each other) in the **DDNS** column. 
 +* In the popup **Dynamic DNS Record**, here you can either generate a key (up to 16 characters) or specify your own.  **You will need this for the password in the example config below** 
 + 
 +(src - above steps tested and based on [[https://networkingnotesblog.wordpress.com/2015/10/15/using-dynamic-dns-server-with-he-net/|this blog]]). 
 + 
 +*Note:* In order for a zone to be accepted for addition to HE.net's DNS-manager, it **must** //already// be configured to point to ns1.he.net / ns2.he.net / ns3.he.net / ns4.he.net / ns5.he.net.  Adding the domain or subdomain to HE.net will fail w/ an error otherwise.  Note: I don't know if they check for all five nameservers, but may as well just add all 5 NS records to your domain (with the registrar you setup the domain) or if a sub-domain (at your existing host. 
 + 
 +Lastly, if you want to (it's optional) protect the update-requests that the ddns-service does, with TLS, you can see the [[client#ssl_support1|above section on SSL]]. 
 +The following settings have been tested/worked: 
 + 
 +In the below example config, the (sub-)domain pointing to HE.net nameservers is "zone.domain.tld", and the A record is "addr-a-record" (thus the full dynamic hostname will be addr-a-record.zone.domain.tld).
  
-Use the following settings: 
 <code> <code>
-service_name he.net +# /etc/config/ddns 
-domain [Your FQDN] +config service 'dns_he_net' 
-username [Your FQDN] +        option service_name 'he.net' 
-password [Your password]+        option enabled '1' 
 +        option domain 'addr-a-record.your.domain.tld'       # this is the A or AAAA record you created and set up a DynDNS Key for  
 +        option lookup_host 'addr-a-record.your.domain.tld'  # same as above - script queries this to see if it's outdated and needs to be updated 
 +        option use_ipv6 '0'                                 # whether to update your AAAA record (by default: A record) 
 +        option username 'your.domain.tld'                   # this is not your HE.net username, but your zone (zone.domain.tld) delegated to HE.net nameservers 
 +        option password 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'                  # this part is the generated Key for the DynDNS function  
 +        option ip_source 'network' 
 +        option ip_network 'wan' 
 +        option interface 'wan'
