Retrieves the outward facing IP address from your Airport Extreme router, and if it has changed, tell freedns.afraid.org. By checking your router, it avoids generating any internet traffic and freedns.afraid.org activity unless your IP address changes. This script has only been tested on MacOS X Lion (10.7) and Mavericks (10.9) with an Airport Extreme. If you have any suggestions on making the script more portable or robust, please let me know. Directions: 0) Adjust PATH if necessary. No need for MacOS X. 1) Create a text file "$HOME/.afraid-dyndns.dynkey" and add one line to it with your dynamic authentication token from http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ . 2) Create a text file "$HOME/.afraid-dyndns.email" and add one line to it with a comma separated list of the email addresses to notify when the IP address changes. This file is optional if you do not want to be notified via email. 3) Add an entry to your crontab to run this script periodically. Script can run as you. It does not require any privileges to run.
