- Gateway
- Local
- Manually defined

The application has an initial easy to use interface for every user but behind it, ​the application contains powerful tools for professionals.

Multi-provider - this option allow you to make hostname updates to multiple providers at the same time, so in case a provider will be down your IP address will be saved to the other enabled providers assuring that you will always have a hostname updated with your latest IP address.

Internal failover - if the interface assigned to your hostname is not available the application will get the IP address of any available network interface and perform an update with that IP, thus maintaining a connection to your device, with two failover types.

Multiple accounts, multiple hostnames, multiple IP sources - Use the IP address of any available interface in your system and assign it to any hostname from any account. Every hostname can have his own IP source.

Manual update - a manual update can be performed at any moment.

Wonderful 64-bit dynamic DNS updater app

I use Cisco's OpenDNS for my home network DNS Server, and have used the 32-bit OpenDNS Updater client for macOS provided by Cisco up through macOS Mojave.

I've decided that waiting for a 64-bit update to the OpenDNS Updater was not satisfying. It seems that to update the app from 32-bit should not be impossible work, it ought to be rather trivial. I'm not cognizant of the software packages that the current client was based on, so it could be a matter of a complete rewrite, and therefore, not a cost-effective project for the Cisco programmers.

I did some searching and found the 64-bit app RealDNS by MingleBit on the Mac App Store. It is a simple to use solution for updating dynamic DNS addresses on a Mac computer that will work with the new Catalina release, which requires a 64-bit updater application.

I believe that this application is well worth the price, and the author has been responsive in supporting the users of this software. I give it my top recommendation.

Doesn't work reliably

Set this up according to the documentation with my domain in my namecheap account. Worked for a day, has not updated the ip after moving to a new network since. Have tried many options in the app (which is very slow). I don't recommend wasting your money on this app.
