As DuckDNS is a bit shaky recently, I created an alternative add-on using the Dynu DNS provider, which ranks as amongst the best free dynamic DNS providers around as far as I could see.
It has a bit more variety as far as the root domains available, which is nice.
The addon is at 99% a copy of the duckdns addon.
Disclaimer:
I don’t use the add-on myself. My “main” HA is not even on HassOS, tbh.
This is a “gift” to the community, and an exercise for myself.
