No-IP Toolkit: Hosting & Auto-Renewal

A complete solution for No-IP users. This repository serves two purposes:

1. 📘 Documentation: A step-by-step guide to connecting No-IP domains to GitHub Pages.
2. 🤖 Automation: A "smart bot" that renews your free domain and alerts you on Telegram if the session expires.

---

📚 Part 1: Connect No-IP to GitHub Pages

Follow these steps to use your free ddns.net domain as a custom URL for your GitHub site.

1️⃣ Set Up Your Repository

• Create a new repository (or use this one).
• Go to Settings > Pages.
• Select the branch you want to publish (e.g., main) and click Save.

2️⃣ Configure No-IP DNS

• Log in to No-IP.com.
• Go to My Services > DNS Records.
• Create a CNAME Record for your domain (e.g., your-name.ddns.net) pointing to your-username.github.io.

3️⃣ Add CNAME File

• Create a file named CNAME (all caps, no extension) in your repository root.
• Inside, write only your domain name:

  your-name.ddns.net
  

  4️⃣ Verify in GitHub

• Go back to Settings > Pages.
• In the Custom domain box, enter your domain and click Save.
• Check the Enforce HTTPS box once it becomes available (can take up to 24h).

🤖 Part 2: Auto-Renewer Bot

Free No-IP domains expire every 30 days. This bot checks them every 15 days and sends you a Telegram message if you need to update your cookie.

📂 Files Required

Ensure your repository contains the latest versions of:

• renew.py (The script with Telegram logic)
• requirements.txt (Dependencies including requests)
• .github/workflows/schedule.yml (The schedule)

⚙️ Setup Instructions

Step 1: Get Your Login Cookie

Since No-IP checks for bots, we use a session cookie to bypass the login screen.

1. Log in to No-IP.com on your browser and check "Keep me logged in".
2. Open Developer Tools (F12) > Application tab > Cookies.
3. Find the cookie named laravel_session.
4. Copy its Value (a long string of random characters).

Step 2: Get Telegram Credentials

We need these to send you alerts if the cookie expires.

1. Open Telegram and message @BotFather.
   • Send /newbot, name it, and get your HTTP API Token.
2. Message @userinfobot.
   • Copy your Id (a number).

Step 3: Add GitHub Secrets

To keep your credentials safe, do not save them in code.

1. Go to Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions.
2. Click New repository secret.
3. Create these 3 Secrets:
   • NOIP_COOKIE -> Paste your laravel_session value.
   • TELEGRAM_TOKEN -> Paste your Bot Token.
   • TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID -> Paste your User ID number.

Step 4: Enable the Workflow

1. Go to the Actions tab.
2. Select No-IP Auto Renew on the left.
3. Click Run workflow to test it immediately.
