what I did wrong?
Same issue here.
Hover running:
sudo noip2 -S
Output:
1 noip2 process active.
Process 1009, started as noip2, (version 2.1.9)
Using configuration from /usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf
Last IP Address set 0.0.0.0
Account ***********@gmail.com
configured for:
host **********.com
Updating every 5 minutes via /dev/wlx281878338e41 with NAT enabled.
So it might be still working fine. Not sure.
You are the fucking Best¡ Greetings from Argentina¡

I tried to do it on my Raspberry Pi 3B running Raspbian Buster to avoid setting 0.0.0.0 as my IP address but it seems not to be working...
A temporary fix I did was calling the following on my sudo's crontab:
@reboot sh -c "sudo noip2 -i $(curl -sS ifconfig.me)"
Hi
I'm following along with this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTLwGTkBFy4&list=PLjwDNSlPlIIunYlhIRuftmmPmMZlze6WJ&index=13
4mins30seconds
Im getting the following when I run
sudo systemctl enable noip2
error:
/etc/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl enable noip2 Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
I noticed there is an extra step here to do with the daemon which Ive done but am not really getting it an was hoping it would just work.
Anyone got any ideas, or know how to check if its running properly? I left it at the default 30
Cheers
Answer:
I got this fixed by killing the process with the -K switch(kill proc id didnt do anything as it auto restarted each time) in the readme in noip folder(Dont know why they didnt just put it on the website) and then doing the daemon step later.
Not sure if its 100% right yet because I have to wait for the name servers to replicate around, but Im passed the roadblock of not being able to get tthe service runnign and the restart launch not working. Hope someone else gets
Hi,
I experience a different behavior:
When run from command line noip2 forks and stays running as a daemon. I can see it using 'ps aux'.
When run as a systemd service, is does not fork and using type=forking does not work for me.
I had to switch to type=simple. But now noip2 exits after updating the IP.
It seems it is expecting to be run as a systemd timer.
How can noip2 behave so differently depending on how you call it...?
Nice job it works and helps by just copy/pasting
Thank you works perfectly. cheers
Thank you very much
I was so close, but no cigars..... now my noip2.service purrs like a kitten. Thank you!
I was having this error as well in a Raspbian installation:
Can't gethostbyname for dynupdate.no-ip.com
Can't get our visible IP address from ip1.dynupdate.no-ip.com
Found a workaround, just add to noip2.service file:
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c 'until ping -c1 google.com; do sleep 1; done;'
After rebooting, now it works. systemctl status noip2.service:

thank you so much
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
two lines fixed my problem
Works perfectly wit TurnKey GNU/Linux 16.0 (Debian 10/Buster). Thank you.
On RHEL, where SELinux is enabled, you might need to run:
restorecon /etc/systemd/system/noip2.service
Many thanks for this well-tuned solution Nathan!
On Ubuntu 20.04 I still get the
Can't gethostbyname for dynupdate.no-ip.com
Can't get our visible IP address from ip1.dynupdate.no-ip.com
on boot, despite trying
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
If anyone knows a more permanent solution than the one above from msdos, I'd love to try it.
Adding that line
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c 'until ping -c1 google.com; do sleep 1; done;'
eliminates the error and eventually results in getting the correct IP, but it takes no less than 2 minutes and 10 seconds of trying to ping Google before there's a response. Should my network be taking that long to start up? Once it's running, the ping works at one try if I restart the service. It's just startup that takes literally minutes.
Simple and works like a charm. Thank you!
Thanks. Worked great!
thanks all good.
Dont forget to pkill noip2.....then check with noip2 -S
to seen no instances of the program is running, before launching the service
thank you

If anyone has the mentioned problem, make sure to kill all NOIP processes before starting the service. Or restart the machine.
ps aux | grep noip

Thank you for this! Was racking my brain for over an hour on this one.
Thanks for this, @NathanGiesbrecht - unfortunately no matter what I do I can't get things to work without the 0.0.0.0 error on my Pi4...

The only thing that worked in the end was the workaround from @msdos - I just changed it from google.com to no-ip.com to make it feel a tiny bit less hacky! Presumably an issue in Rasperry Pi OS/Debian where it's reporting network as being online before it isn't?
Thanks.
with wireguard this worked for me
