Or just have the tool open an ipv4 socket when accessing it.
That only works if you're not behind carrier grade NAT.
After using a handfull of dynamic DNS services my gut feeling is that you should really be running your own DNS server on a static IP and using that for dynamic DNS. It's pretty much the only way you can be sure something isn't just going to disapear over night. I guess that's more or less what's going on here but why bother letting someone else controll it?
Services that specifically provide free DDNS may not stick around long, but professional DNS providers with REST APIs change very rarely. I don't think cloudflare's DNS service will change very soon.
Those who don't learn about ddclient are doomed to re-implement it.
