-Update DNS records with your current external IP address using the netcup DNS API.
+Update DNS A/AAAA records with your current external IP address using the netcup DNS API.
 
 ## Configuration
 
-For each netcup customer, create a `.ini` configuration file.
+For each netcup customer, create a `.json` configuration file inside `/etc/netcup-dpns`.
 
-There is an [example configuration](cfg/example.ini).
