March 2026
DNS propagation checker
March 26, 2026After changing a DNS record, check if it has propagated across 8 global resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, OpenDNS, and more). See a progress bar and per-resolver status. Available from any domain page.
Router setup wizard
March 26, 2026Step-by-step instructions for configuring your router to auto-update your hostname. Supports ASUS, Fritz!Box, Synology NAS, pfSense, DD-WRT/OpenWrt, and generic ddclient/cron setups. Your credentials are pre-filled — just follow the steps.
Zone file import
March 26, 2026Upload a BIND zone file to bulk-import DNS records. Supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, and CAA records. SOA and NS records are skipped (managed by KyedNS).
Bulk record operations
March 26, 2026Select multiple DNS records and delete them or change their TTL in one action. Use the checkboxes next to each record and the action bar that appears.
API documentation page
March 26, 2026New /api page documenting the DynDNS2 protocol, authentication, response codes, and dual-stack behavior. Includes ready-to-use examples for curl, ddclient, and PowerShell.
Webhook notifications
March 26, 2026Get notified instantly when your IP changes, DNS records are modified, or health checks detect issues. Configure webhook URLs under Webhooks in the navigation. Supports HMAC-SHA256 payload signing. Works with Slack, Discord, ntfy, Home Assistant, and any HTTPS endpoint.
DNS health check rules
March 26, 2026KyedNS now automatically detects 5 common DNS issues: nameservers not pointing to us, MX records that don't resolve, CNAME at zone apex (RFC violation), duplicate A records, and dynamic records that haven't updated in 90+ days. Warnings appear on your domain page.
Database column cleanup
March 25, 2026Internal improvement: legacy PHP column names replaced with Rails conventions. No user-visible changes, but makes the codebase easier to maintain for future features.
February 2026
Fixed DNS sync serial tracking
February 13, 2026Simplified serial comparison to directly compare PowerDNS and KyeDNS serials, fixing a race condition.
Moved delete buttons to edit pages
February 13, 2026Delete buttons for domains and DNS records moved from list views to their respective edit pages.
