Updating my proxy dns service provider with my current IP address

3986615May 11 2019 — edited May 11 2019

I have been trying to resolve this issue for some weeks.  I have my DYN Update running on my Windows 10 PC.  The reason I need to use an IP updater is that I have no fixed IP address and have an account with a Proxy DNS Server company that allows me to use a proxy DNS to access USA Netflix from Australia.  One of the main issues with using that service is having my IP address updated to them each time my IP changes, which it does often.   On my a/c settings with them on their website (The proxy dns provider)  they have a setting (optional) for me to enter the following:

Dynamic DNS Host Name

I am unsure what to type in to provide the Dynamic DNS Host Name, as I cannot think what would update to them my current IP address - as If I type in my just dnsdns hostname, I would still need the updater running on my PC, I assume this assumption is correct, and if so it defeats what I am trying to do which is not have to have my PC running 24/7.

So I then found that on my router settings (I have a cable internet connection here in Australia), the settings have a provision under WAN Services for me to enter the following:

DynDNS IPV4

Domain Name

Password

Now to be frank I am unsure what to enter for above, as I am unable to determine in my own mind if I enter whatever is required here will that result in updating my current IP address to dyndns? - and what do I enter as my domain name, is that the hostname?

Any help will be appreciated.....  In a nutshell, I am trying to update a remote website with my current IP address so their proxy dns will recognize me and update their service as my IP changes.

I would need a little bit more information to provide a more specific answer, but I am guessing you can accomplish what you are trying to do by a combination of Interactive Report Linking and/or by using the APEX_IR API. You can accomplish some simple filtering using the link, and more advanced stuff using the API.
