DDNS Subdomains
Allocate and manage dynamic DNS subdomains under vxloc.com for your PodWarden instances
What you see
URL: /dashboard/ddns (requires login)
The DDNS page lets you allocate subdomains under Hub-managed domains (e.g. vxloc.com) for your PodWarden instances. When your instance connects to Hub, it reports its public IP. Hub automatically updates the DNS record via Cloudflare, so your services are always reachable at a stable hostname even if your IP changes.
The page has a header with the title and an "Allocate Subdomain" button. Below that is a card listing your allocated subdomains, or an empty state with setup instructions.
Fields / columns
Each subdomain entry shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| FQDN | The full domain name (e.g. swift17.vxloc.com) |
| Status | Current DNS record status |
| Slug type | auto (system-generated) or custom (user-chosen) |
| IP address | The current IP address the subdomain points to |
| Last updated | When the DNS record was last updated |
