I created an account just to comment on this:
I tell you something, you are "throwing shade" on the author - even if this is a "kid", were you born and immediately started to invent (insert complex tech) from scratch?
This guy did a nice job and wanted to share his work with us and appearently many others appreciate it and thus it ended up on the front page.
Comments which's only intention is to make some other's work smaller and seemingly "unworthy" are just sad and unnecessary.
Hey Tobi, thank you! This is HN, so that is fully expected, but it’s all fun and good. I made this super quickly and just wanted to share in case anyone needed it. I only saw it today—reached the front page and got 444 stars! I’m as surprised as the shade guy :)

Weird, this project is very similar to this one
https://github.com/zackoch/easy_cloudflare_dns_updater/tree/...
Did OP kang my project?
Haha, no, I didn’t! Honestly, I didn't put much thought into this project either. I needed it for myself to host a game we're developing (it’s 11GB per download) and was frustrated with the Noip client. I made this in about an hour and thought I’d share it too! Just seeing all the upvotes today :)

"Yeah, but"; do I want to be putting up impossible-to-solve captcha loops in people's faces? Can you do this in a way that people who know your domain can go directly to your actual IP address, rather than a Cloudfare proxy?
If you set {proxied: false} - it'll resolve to your IP directly.

> restart cronjobs

> sudo systemctl restart cron
Hello author, there's no need to restart cron, crontab -e applies changes automatically on exit. And the daemon is called "cron", not "cronjobs".
Hello back! thanks I did not know crontab -e auto-restarted it. fixing it now. also 'cronjobs'.

If you too are tired of relying on outdated software from paid services like NoIP and DynDNS, and are in need for a reliable way to manage your home server with your own domain name, try this simple script with a free Cloudflare account. It just gets the job done...
