No-IP changing IP address?

Node Operators troubleshooting

The No-IP does not provide the static IP address, their service providing DDNS hostname.
The IP address is provided by your ISP, only VPN services can change that (or use a different ISP :slight_smile:)
Then you will configure the updater for that DDNS hostname (either on your router, or with their DUC application) to update this DDNS hostname, when your public IP got changed.

So, you should configure your node to use this DDNS hostname as your external address. Do not forget to add a port to the name via colon, i.e.:

  • -e ADDRESS=my.ddns.name:28967 for the docker
  • or contact.external-address: my.ddns.name:28967 in the "C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\config.yaml" file for the Windows GUI
