HE.net provides free DDNS service, compatible with DynDNS’s update format.
Link: Dynamic DNS on HE.net.

I’m using Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite, Dynamic DNS support can be found from web GUI console, but the server address is not configurable.

Here is a copy of my config:

     dns {
         dynamic {
             interface pppoe0 {
                 service dyndns {
                     host-name ddns.record.my.domain
                     login ddns.record.my.domain
                     password [PASSWORD]
                     server dyn.dns.he.net
                 }
             }
         }
    }

dns {

dynamic {

interface pppoe0 {

service dyndns {

host-name ddns.record.my.domain

password [PASSWORD]

server dyn.dns.he.net

}

You can also configure from CLI.

ubnt@ubnt:~$ configure 
[edit]
ubnt@ubnt# edit  service dns dynamic  interface pppoe0 
[edit service dns dynamic interface pppoe0]
ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns 
ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns host-name ddns.record.my.domain
ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns login ddns.record.my.domain
ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns password PASSWORD
ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns server dyn.dns.he.net
ubnt@ubnt# commit
ubnt@ubnt# save

ubnt@ubnt:~$ configure

[edit]

ubnt@ubnt# edit service dns dynamic interface pppoe0

[edit service dns dynamic interface pppoe0]

ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns

ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns host-name ddns.record.my.domain

ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns login ddns.record.my.domain

ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns password PASSWORD

ubnt@ubnt# set service dyndns server dyn.dns.he.net

ubnt@ubnt# commit

ubnt@ubnt# save

1 Pick the right interface
2 Set server
3 DO NOT SAVE OR UPDATE FROM WEB GUI CONSOLE!

HE.net Dynamic DNS on Ubiquiti Router by @sskaje: https://sskaje.me/2015/03/he-net-ddns-on-ubnt-router/

I was using ZoneEdit and set my ddns there like:

/usr/bin/curl  --user 'Username:Password' 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=DomainName'

1	/usr/bin/curl --user 'Username:Password' 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=DomainName'

But it’s worse than it was.

The HE.net, hurricane electronic, was known by its IPv6 tunnel, also providing free dynamic dns service, no monthly reactivation required like no-ip.

https://dns.he.net/
Register and Sign in, add a domain and add an A record, check the Enable entry for dynamic dns, save and then click the renew icon, which means Generate a DDNS key, generate the key or enter your own key twice, save.

Then curl like:

curl 'http://DomainName:DDNSKey@dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update?hostname=DomainName'

1	curl 'http://DomainName:DDNSKey@dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update?hostname=DomainName'

curl 'http://DomainName:DDNSKey@dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update?hostname=DomainName&myip=MyIP'

1	curl 'http://DomainName:DDNSKey@dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update?hostname=DomainName&myip=MyIP'
