This script doesn't work anymore, there is what works for me :

#!/bin/bash

HOST=foo.example.com
USER=uername
PASS=hashed_password
IPADDR=$(wget -q -O- https://ip.frozenonline.com --no-check-certificate)
RESULT=$(wget -4 -q -O- "https://api.dynu.com/nic/update?hostname=$HOST&myip=$IPADDR&myipv6=no&username=$USER&password=$PASS")
