Title: yi.org listed as one of the Dynamic DNS services
Post by: calisun on April 26, 2019, 05:19:52 AM

During install, on option is given to setup Dynamic DNS providers, one of the providers listed there is YI.org
That service is no longer functional. I used it in the past, but it has been dead for last several of years now.

As a matter of fact, all other DNS services listed there are also not functional any more.

dyndns.com and dyndns.org are now owned by Oracle and are now https://dyn.com/dns/  and only offer free trial.
tzo.com page is not functional any more. I tried to search to see when it went down but no info was found.

Maybe we could remove the feature and leave it to the contrib dedicated to this ?

I mean, now domains are really cheap and easy to obtain. Even ddns features are offered by most or registrars if you have a dynamic ip.

It is easier to use the manager than the console to set this up

I agree, if we have a contrib that can be easily accessed in Server-Manager, that would actually make the process easier if we need to change or update it in the future.
