Issue with Duckdns, IP-Adress updated, but ping resolves old one

[gingerbread233]

Hello,

I have an Issue with my node. My IP-Adress from my ISP got updated this night. In the morning I got an Email from storj that my node has gone offline. As I was checking my current IP-Adress, and comparing it to the one entered one on my duckdns account, they are both the same, so duckdns got my new IP-Adress, and updated it succsessfully. But on My nodes the old IP-Adress is still the old one, so I pinged my node adress via terminal to see it’s maybe the fault of sotrj, but as I was pinging it, the old adress still got resolved. It’s weird, that the new IP-Adress got updatet on duckdns, but when pining my duckdns, it still shows the old one. So is there mabye an issue with duckdns, that the adress did not got updated properly in their system? Is there maybe a known issue with this?

After a while I managed to fix it. DuckDns showed the new IP-Adress, but as it seemed, it doesn’t changed it in their database. As I changed the Adress manually, to some random ip, the Adress now also changed in the nodes section of storj. After that I changed it back to my actual IP-Adress and it now shows the right one and the nodes are reachable and working again.

I would suggest to use a more reliable DDNS provider.

Alternative to noip and ddns?

Hi, I have sucessfully installed Storj on my Ryzen VPS and my Raspberry Pi 4 Arm64 bit at home. So far so good. VPS is filling up slowly, and the Pi is working with some stability. I think that a home broadband connection will mean it might be a touch slow is fulfilling requests. Anyway, I have to use a DDNS service with with home setup, namely noip. Is there an alternative to this? or another compatible service without the 30 days activation annoyance? I also don’t understand why this is nee…
