This blog post does an excellent job going through how it works and how we got here.</p> <p><a href="https://lpar.ath0.com/posts/2026/02/ipv6-address-assignment/">https://lpar.ath0.com/posts/2026/02/ipv6-address-assignment/</a></p> https://chaselau.me/post/setup-ddns-with-porkbun/ Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://chaselau.me/post/setup-ddns-with-porkbun/ <h1 id="overview">Overview</h1> <p>Lately I have been using Porkbun for hosting some of my domains. Porkbun is a great registrar, but they do not have as much support from the market on dynamic DNS (DDNS) updating. Here is how I was able to get DDNS working for IPv4 and IPv6 on my Porkbun domains.</p> <p>Note: Many DDNS applications have a Docker version. If you are wanting to update IPv6, I do not recommend you use the Docker version as the docker container will likely not be able to see the host&rsquo;s IPv6 address.</p>
