Note: Simply add the parameter -d ip=xx.xx.xx.xx to override the updated IP(IPv4 or IPv6). Please make sure your update interval is more than 4 minutes.
With this command, our system will automatically detect your public IP address and update your hosts to the new IP. Alternatively, you may add parameter -d ip=xx.xx.xx.xx to overwrite the public IP.
