Hello!
I have written a super simple PowerShell script for updating a zone with your IP address via the REST interface API. I figured that if I needed it, someone else might also. Please feel free to use it and if you run into any issues, let me know. It’s not pretty but if it does it’s job without too many issues I’ll make it a real cmdlet in a real signed module, maybe even a git repo. For now just copy it into a text file called UpdateDynv6.ps1 - usage instructions are in the comments at the top of the file.
Thanks!
