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!
