DirectUpdate

DirectUpdate is a software utility that can help you automatically update your dynamic DNS account when your IP changes. The application runs quietly in the background as a service and even when no user is logged to make a check on the IP address assigned for the machine.

Thanks to the tool, web administrators can ensure that users employ the latest versions of the application, whereas the apps themselves are better controlled. Users can receive notifications about the pending updates and hence, are unlikely to use obsolete versions which may or may not contain vulnerabilities. More importantly, these updates can be pushed silently without any user interaction, providing of course that you create a custom task for this purpose.

Then again, the app enables you to configure email notifications and FTP uploads, all fully customizable and remotely managed from a web administration panel that can be accessed from any browser.

According to the developer, the tool ensures local and remote IP detection with a vast number of connections, including LAN, DSL or cable router. It supports IP detection via a hidden proxy of ISP, local IP detection with direct router query and it can work with numerous DNS services or providers at the same time.
