GoDNS – dynamic DNS (DDNS) client tool

GoDNS is a dynamic DNS (DDNS) client tool.

This is cross-platform software running under Linux, macOS, ARM Linux, MIPS32, and Windows.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Supports multiple DNS providers simultaneously:
    • Manage domains across multiple DNS services (Cloudflare, DNSPod, DigitalOcean, etc).
    • Use provider-specific credentials for each service.
    • Maintain full backward compatibility with existing single-provider configurations.
  • Supports 2 different configuration file formats:
    • JSON (which is the default).
    • YAML.
  • Supports dynamic loading of configuration. If you modify the configuration file, GoDNS will automatically reload the configuration and apply the changes.
