Script to update no-ip.com to force a change of IP.
Update your no-ip.com domain name through crontab
Reason
I created this script because my IP address does not change really often and I was bothered by the fact that www.noip.com sends email about your domain name expiring after more than 30 days without a change. To remedy this behavior I decided to write that script and run it into a scheduled job every 10 days.
How does this work
The script can be run every 20 days and it will force your domain name to update with a wrong IP address and a moment after it will update it with the proper IP address. This will bypass the expiration rule.
Installation
