Free no-ip service has legal problems

no-ipIf you use the free service no-ip for dynamic ips, either for your computer or your server, check your connection because several subdomains do not work from yesterday.

The well-known service that has a history of 14 years on the internet does why in her blog that the Microsoft following a U.S. federal court ruling closed 22 of the best known of noip on the grounds that some of their sundomains are being used by malicious creators .

Informational the no-ip service through the of noip.com gives you free the ability to connect your router with it and assign a subdomain to your ip. In a nutshell, those who have dynamicc ip, ip that changes number continuously, you can call it from afar using domains of type iguru.redirectme.com or piasemia.servebeer.com

The 22 domains are down yesterday, June 30, and you do not know what will happen. In their blog post, they report: “We contacted Microsoft today. They claim that their only intention is to filter out the known bad hostnames in each confiscated domain, while continuing to allow the good hostnames to work. However, this is not the case. Obviously, Microsoft's infrastructure is not able to handle the billions of queries from our customers. "Millions of innocent users are experiencing downtime as a result of Microsoft trying to recover hostnames associated with some bad agents."

It's a shame though because no-ip is one of the remaining free services, especially now that another great similar service, dyndns now requires .

Update: New announcement at 3 July 2014 in the company's Blog states that all domains have reverted to . However, their operation may be delayed up to 24 hours until the DNS servers in your country are updated. This is good news as we finally saw our dynamin ip link working on our router again. :)
