It supports IPv4 and IPv6 updates as well as group. It runs on all computers that have Chrome browsers installed. It can run in the background even if you have all browser windows closed.

Username  Your Dynu account username. Providing username and no group will update the IP address for all hostnames that have no group assigned to them in your account.

Password  You may use your account password or take advantage of setting up a separate IP update password different from the account password. MD5 hash of the password is also accepted.

Group  Use 'group' parameter if you want to update IP address for one or a collection of hostnames including those created using aliases in different locations. Please note that the 'username' and 'password' parameters are mandatory when using group. You may set up groups for your hostnames in the control panel. Make sure that you leave the 'Group' field empty if you did not assign your hostnames to a group in the control panel.

  • Select Settings
  • On the left menu bar, click on System
  • Slide on the option 'Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed'

To confirm that the application is running in the background, you can close all browser windows and you should see a Chrome icon in the tray icon area. Click on it will show the window below:
