Sudo nano /etc/rc.local (Many guides don’t include the ‘sudo’ part – if you miss this out, you may get a ‘permission denied’ error when you try and save the changes) Add the new line into the file We need to open a file for editing to add our line.

I didn’t like the thought of having to start the client every time I reboot, so I also did a bit of searching and found out how to get it to start every time the Pi starts.Īll we need to do is add a line into an existing file, and that’ll do it. Step 3 (Optional): Auto-Run the Client on Boot That’s it, you now have the client running on your Raspberry Pi. Now that we’re all set up – time to fire up the client. Sudo /usr/local/bin/noip2 -C (ONLY required if you want to recreate the file due to entering something wrong) Start the client If you just realised you entered something wrong there, use the following command in Terminal to recreate the config file: This should now be all set and ready to go. I think this is minutes, so I just used 30. It also says something along the lines of “Do you want to complete other actions” – I just typed ‘N’ for ‘no’ and hit enter again. Just enter those and press Enter after each. It will do some ‘stuff’ then ask you for your No-IP account log-in and password. Press enter, let it finish, then enter the following:

Time to finish installation and enter your No-IP account details.

If this happens, whilst in the ‘noip’ directory enter ls and press enter to check the version number/name.) Install and confirm your No-IP account information (If that doesn’t work, the version number may have changed/updated. We just extracted the file which made a new directory in our ‘noip’ directory. The last step downloaded the No-IP client as an archive file. Let it do its thing until Terminal becomes available again. We will now download the No-IP client into this directory. In the previous step we set ourselves in the noip directory. Still in Terminal, enter the following to go to the new directory we just created: Step 2: Install and Set Up the No-IP client software Create a ‘noip’ Directoryįirst, let’s create a directory (folder) for the No-IP client software to be installed into. Log In (the email address/name you use to log in to ).Make sure you do this before you install the client on the Raspberry Pi as you need the following information to set it up in Terminal:

Step 1: Get a No-IP accountĬlearly you will need a account for this to work.

In a few simple steps you can set the Raspberry Pi with a No-IP Dynamic DNS client, which will keep your External IP address updated with No-IP.

Now you could just leave your PC on with the update software running, but that could get expensive on your electric bill. In order for a Dynamic DNS to work, it needs to be able to connect to ‘something’ (like a PC) within your home network to keep the IP address updated. There are many websites offering a Dynamic DNS – I went with from a recommendation. I need a dynamic DNS to log in to my router from outside of the home, as my external IP address changes all of the time.Īs this external IP address is required to access my IP camera, as soon as it changes, the settings in my IP camera app are wrong which means I can’t access it. Being the fool that I am, I forgot to set up a dynamic DNS before I left home. I recently went on holiday to Italy, and wanted to check on the house with my IP camera whilst I was away.
