Apparently D-Link routers are not subject to the shutdown

I just got the shutdown notice for the Dyn account that I use on my Netgear router, but I got no notification for the D-Link routers that use the special dlinkddns.com server.

Those special Dyn accounts are free to me, but apparently D-Link is paying for them, so it looks as if I can still be able to use the Dyn/D-Link IPv6 DDNS updater without paying a separate monthly fee. Since one of my D-Link routers is only using one of the two allowed hostnames, I should probably be able to use its secondary hostname to sync my Netgear router.

EDIT: I just moved the hostname used by my Netgear router to a Dyn/D-Link account as a secondary hostname, and it works (at least for now). I guess I will have to wait until next month to see if that and the other Dyn/D-Link accounts will still be operational at that time.
