Dynamic DNS with CloudFlare

@nashbrydges I thought somebody already said this, but I cant find it. The only bad part about the CNAME method if you're using a free account on no-ip, then you have to login to their site and confirm that you're still using the DDNS every 30 days, which is a PITA. Setup the script with a cron job and never have to worry about checking in on no-ip or afraid.org every n days.
That's correct, if you have the free account with No-IP you have to reconfirm every 30 days. I have the paid account so that's not a problem. It doesn't expire.

afraid.org does require reauth but like every 6 months or so.

To each their own... I'll opt for the free, never reauth, option for 3 minutes of setup.

Ya this is why I set this up. I’m cheap and I was tired of reauth with no-ip.
