The porkbun_ddns.sh is a command-line tool for Porkbun DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server). It is written in the shell and has very few dependencies.

1. Few dependencies, only need curl and dig installed.
2. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
3. Unlike other scripts, this script can still obtain the real IP in the proxy environment.
4. Can theoretically run on most computers or routers.
5. Execute according to IP changes, less calls to Porkbun's API.

1. Download the shell script then upload it to a folder on your computer or router, e.g. /usr/bin.
2. Confirm that the curl and dig commands are available on your machine. Actually the script will also help to check.
3. Give the shell script executable permissions.

chmod +x /usr/bin/porkbun_ddns.sh

4. Execute the following command to get usage help information.

porkbun_ddns.sh --help
