=== Using Your DNS Provider ===

For more in depth info on using ddclient for a specific DNS provider visit the [https://ddclient.net/protocols.html ddclient documentation]. If your provider isn't listed there try searching the [https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/blob/main/ddclient.in ddclient source code] for your DNS name, modifying the above configuration with the relevant {{Nixos:option|services.ddclient.protocol|protocol}}, {{Nixos:option|services.ddclient.username|username}}, {{Nixos:option|services.ddclient.passwordFile|passwordFile}}, {{Nixos:option|services.ddclient.domain|domain}}, and {{Nixos:option|services.ddclient.zone|zone}}
