This script will update A and AAAA records on Hurricane Electric's DNS for hosts with DDNS enabled. It will pull your IPv4 from a source and your IPv6 from the local machine.
It also includes two files, getv4.php and getv4.sh; which will allow you to run your own IP check service for IPv4 on a pfSense box if it also has the public v4 you want to use. If it's behind a bridge or DMZ, you'll have to use an external service.
If you are using the pfSense IP Check Service, copy both the .sh and .php file in to /usr/local/www on pfSense. It will be available at:
- https://[LAN.IP]/getv4.php
- http://[LAN.IP]/getv4.php
depending on if you use https or not. Accessing this file does not require logging in to the admin panel.
Copy hedyn.sh to your server using the hostname; make copies for each hostname you want to update with your hostname, APIKey, the device you want to use for IPv6, and which IPv4 check service you want to use. Add it to cron. If using multiple, it's easiest to add commands to all scripts in to another script called by cron.
The script will only update either v4 or v6 if the records don't match the machine's IP addresses.
To use with just v4 or just v6; comment out the appropiate parts.
This comes with no warranty. Any usage or modification to pfSense is done at your own risk.
