HomingBeacon.NET 3.0

HomingBeacon.NET by ChangeIP.com is a lightweight Windows client that keeps your ChangeIP hostnames synchronized with your current public IP address. Designed for connections with dynamic IPs, it ensures your domain or subdomain always points to your home, office, or remote site—so you can reliably access servers, cameras, and other self-hosted services without manual updates.

Built on the .NET platform, HomingBeacon.NET installs in minutes and runs quietly in the background. It detects IP changes automatically and securely updates your records with ChangeIP, minimizing downtime and eliminating the need for complex router configurations.

Key features:

• Automatic IP detection and dynamic DNS updates for ChangeIP hostnames
• Support for multiple hostnames on a single device
• Runs as a background service or with a system tray interface
• Configurable update intervals and startup behavior
• IPv4 and IPv6 awareness
• Secure communication with ChangeIP’s update endpoints
• Detailed logging for troubleshooting and audit purposes
• Low resource usage for continuous, reliable operation

Common use cases include remote desktop access, home lab exposure, self-hosted websites, VPN gateways, game servers, and CCTV/NVR access. HomingBeacon.NET helps you maintain consistent connectivity even when your ISP frequently changes your IP.

Getting started is simple: sign in with your ChangeIP.com credentials, select the hostnames to keep updated, choose your preferred update interval, and let HomingBeacon.NET handle the rest.
