Gargoyle Forum

Gargoyle users,

I am trying to setup DDNS via Google (I recently transferred a domain of mine there and setup a Google Dynamic DNS subdomain).

I have some questions about setting it up.
Let us presume someone has the following information:
fred.flintstone@gmail.com
flintstone.com
DDNS subdomain pebbles.flintstone.com
Presume the user knows their password.

In the domain section of the Gargoyle add a DDNS screen:

The domain name would be pebbles.flintstone.com, correct?

What username would the person put?
fred.flintstone
fred.flintstone@gmail.com
fred.flintstone@flintstone.com
fred.flintstone@pebbles.flintstone.com

Thanks in advance!

I haven't used Google DDNS, but just looking from their documentation there, it looks like they might generate a set of credentials for you which is specific to each subdomain you use?

10. The Dynamic DNS record is created in your list of synthetic records. Click the expand triangle next to the record to view its values.
11. Click View Credentials to view the user name and password created for this record.
12. Note the username and password created for the synthetic record. You'll need these to configure your gateway or client software to contact the Google name servers.

Well, what can I say except I do believe that reading really is fundamental! Now, if I can just get the echo out of my head of "Which way did he go George? Which way did he go?" I'll be fine.

Thank you.
