So, I have been trying to mess with DDNS lately. The problem is that I am wanting to update Google DNS. Now DD-WRT uses Inadyn which is completely useless as a solution because it does not support SSL.
(I know about DNS-o-matic. If I can not use SSL at my source it is a no go. Period. DNS-o-Matic is a band-aid to allow the use of insecure options instead of a solution for secure updating. Sorry, No.)
Now DDclient is available as Optware but that doesn't work on the RT-AC68U. I have to use Entware here. I understand that I could use a script for this kind of work but I am a Network Engineer not a programmer and the last script I wrote was in MS-DOS Batch about 15 years ago. I have no patience for scripting. I like good old conf files because they are easy for me to work with.
So... How do I get DDclient into Merlin? and does Merlin support MeshCentral? Those are the only two pieces of addon software that I care about. MeshCentral can be accessed from https://meshcentral.com/ and is a free service (In Alpha stage development) from Intel for supporting Intel AMT. (Yes there is an agent for routers that do not support AMT built in.)
This is all I really want Merlin to do is let me finally have these two things on my router. Yes I know where to get the source code for DDclient yes I know I can compile it myself so if your going to tell me to go that route please be prepared to talk me through it in small detailed steps... I have messed up 'make' 'make install' in the past.
