 The `LINODE_API_KEY` will be saved in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf` and will be reused when needed.

+## 15. Use FreeDNS
+
+FreeDNS (https://freedns.afraid.org/) does not provide an API to update DNS records (other than IPv4 and IPv6
+dynamic DNS addresses).  The acme.sh plugin therefore retrieves and updates domain TXT records by logging
+into the FreeDNS website to read the HTML and posting updates as HTTP.  The plugin needs to know your
+userid and password for the FreeDNS website.
+
+```sh
+export FREEDNS_User="..."
+export FREEDNS_Password="..."
+```
+
+You need only provide this the first time you run the acme.sh client with FreeDNS validation and then again
+whenever you change your password at the FreeDNS site.  The acme.sh FreeDNS plugin does not store your userid
+or password but rather saves an authentication token returned by FreeDNS in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf` and
+reuses that when needed.
+
+Now you can issue a certificate.
+
+```sh
+acme.sh --issue --dns dns_freedns -d example.com -d www.example.com
+```
+
+Note that you cannot use acme.sh automatic DNS validation for FreeDNS public domains or for a subdomain that
+you create under a FreeDNS public domain.  You must own the top level domain in order to automaitcally
+validate with acme.sh at FreeDNS.
+
 # Use custom API

 If your API is not supported yet, you can write your own DNS API.
