How to install and use ddclient?

[dzemp]

Hi,

Because my N66U is running behind a NAT device and therefore I have no public IP address configured on the WAN interface, I cannot use the built-in DDNS feature. AFAIK ddclient can be used in such scenarios, thanks to the web-based IP check.

Having said that, who can tell me how I can install ddclient on Asuswrt-Merlin?


Thanks a lot for any hint,
Dominik

Okay, it seems that there is an Optware package for ddclient.

Therefore, my new question is: how can I setup Optware?

I've just found the following wiki https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Initialize-OPTWARE, but I'm not sure if this wiki really describes what I need for the ddclient package.
