ZPanel Dynamic DNS Client

ZPanel Dynamic DNS Client is a straightforward software application that permits you to scan the network for IP address changes using your dynamic DNS with your local BIND DNS installation. It contains just a few settings that can be quickly figured out.

Simple setup and interface

After a fast and uncomplicated setup operation, you are welcomed by a small window with a clear-cut structure, representing the app's interface. You can check out your public IP address and time since the last scan, as well as indicate the full path to the ZPanel BIND Zones directory.

Customize network scanner settings

As far as scan options are concerned, it's possible to specify the checkup frequency in seconds, minutes or hours, select the preferred IP script, ask the tool to automatically start the scanner and to sync the local DNS to DynDNS Services, or point out to scripts to run after IP changes (.php, .exe, .bat and .jar files are supported).

Configure parameters for dynamic DNS

The dynamic DNS services can be configured for the sync job. For instance, you can activate XPertDNS, no-IP and FreeDNS configuration modes, as well as enter login information and create lists with host IDs. The software application is capable of automatically running at every Windows startup until told otherwise.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't come across any difficulties in our tests, thanks to the fact that the utility didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. Its impact on computer performance was minimal, running on low CPU and RAM.
There's also a portable edition available for those who want to skip the installer and run the app on any PC. To sum it up, ZPanel BIND Zones features approachable options to help you discover changes in IP addresses over the network.
