This package connects PKU IPGW and updates Dynamic DNS service when internet is available.

The configurations are stored in config, and a template is available in config.tmpl. All items are required, and you may further test run via ./autoconnect.py. The script will create a log folder and store logs on rotation basis.

We may check IPGW status and reconnect / update DDNS on a routine basis. We may set up a root crontab to run the script regularly. Cron could be installed via the following command:

# el7
yum install cronie
systemctl start crond.service
systemctl enable crond.service
# el6
yum install cronie
service crond start
chkconfig crond on
# debian
apt-get install cron
service crond start
chkconfig crond on

When corn is installed and enabled during boot, we may further setup crontabs via sudo crontab -e (must use sudo to run at reboot). The following cron tabs might be helpful.

# executes while reboot
@reboot /path/to/autoconnect.py
# executes every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * /path/to/autoconnect.py

Version: 0.4.1, included in the repo.

PKU IPGW Client for Linux is open sourced by Chen Xing and Casper Ti. Vector, and we are using it as is.

Thanks for their efforts.
