+# DnsMadeEasy
+
+This is a simple tool that periodically updates your IP for DnsMadeEasy's dynamic DNS when your IP changes. A Windows EXE file is provided, though the tool is written in Java and can be run on any desktop OS.
+
+## Setup
+
+When run the first time, the tool creates a `~/.dnsmadeeasy/config.txt` file containing:
+
+```
+User: 
+Password: 
+Record ID: 
+Minutes: 30
+Last IP: 
+```
+
+`User` and `Password` are your DnsMadeEasy credentials. You may optionally configure DnsMadeEasy to have a password per record, so you don't need to use your account password. `Record ID` identifies the record to update. `Minutes` is the number of minutes between IP checks. `Last IP` does not need to be set manually.
+
+After saving the `config.txt` file, the DnsMadeEasy tool must be restarted. On Windows the tool runs in the background and only a single instance is allowed, so use Task Manager to end the task before starting it again.
+
+Configure your OS to start the tool when the OS starts.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+The tool creates a `~/.dnsmadeeasy/dnsmadeeasy.log` file that contains timestamps for when the IP has changed and any error messages.
+
+## License
+
+The tool is released as OSS under the [New BSD license](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/dnsmadeeasy/blob/master/LICENSE).
