DeeEnEs

Introduction

This program is for those people who have an account at one of the website that provide dynamically updateable DNS entries for people who don't have a fixed IP address but still would like to have a host name where they can be reached. An example of one of those sites is dyndns.org where you could register myname.dyndns.org if that one was still available and have it point to your current IP address.  Of course you want a way to automatically update the IP address when it changes and there are actually a number of programs written for this exact purpose. So why DeeEnEs? Because I just didn't like any of them, that's why.

 

Features

  • Very small and very simple
  • No installation necessary
  • Supports multiple accounts
  • Can be used with Modem and permanent (LAN/Cable) connections
  • Works when behind a proxy (if it supports HTTP_CLIENT_IP)
  • Multi-threading (not much of a feature, I know, but there are actually several other programs out there who stop responding while updating!)
  • Won't perform unnecessary updates if IP address hasn't changed
  • Will not update accounts that have been disabled because of abuse as requested by the maintainers of dyndns.org.
  • Will automatically force an update if your IP address hasn't changed for a month to prevent your accounts from getting deleted.
  • Automatic version checking tells you when a new version is available.
  • Command line option "/AUTOEXIT" will make the client exit automatically after a successful update.
  • Source code freely available (undocumented though, sorry).
  • Supports the improved DynDNS update protocol.

 

This program is donationware. If you really like and would like me to go on improving it you could send me $15 for example, but you are not in any way obliged to do so. Because DeeEnEs is donationware it is full-featured and does not expire nor does it bother you with nag screens.

Disclaimer
Well, you probably know the drill: I won't be held responsible for any damages or loss of data that occur as the result of the use of this program. And so forth, and so forth, etcetera blah blah

Installation

Just extract the ZIP file to whatever directory you want and start the executable, from this moment on DeeEnEs will automatically be started whenever Windows is started (unless that is not what you want. If so you can just disable it in the options dialog which you can open by right clicking the tray icon).

If you want a translated version just download the ZIP file containing the language DLL of your choice and extract it to the same directory as the program.

 

Uninstall

Because there is no installation or setup program you won't find DeeEnEs in your Add & Remove Programs control panel. What you have to do is go to the Options dialog and uncheck the option called Start Automatically. After that you can just exit the program and delete it if you want.

Known bugs

Hmmm, not so much bugs as things that I would rather improve on because I don't like the way it functions now. One of these is RAS/connection detection.

 

To Do

  • Make a wizard.
  • Make a help document.
  • Add context help to properties dialog.
  • Implement automatic updating (not only automatic version checking as implemented now)
  • Read the domains from a file instead of hard-coding it.
