Description

At the moment you can only update the ipv4 OR ipv6 record of FREEDNS, as there is only one entry possible in ncp-config.
But FREEDNS offers an new update service (sync.afraid.org) with a randomly generated update token that supports autodetection of ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. You need to enter two URL-strings, separated by to update both records.
Is it possible to implement this into nextcloudpi?
Thank you very much, NCP is still a very very welldone project!
Best regards, Peter
