Router clients
DD-WRT
Client Requirement: Linksys WRT54G
Linksys firmware mod for the ever popular WRT54G, supports afraid.org natively.

Written by: DD-WRT
 
Gargoyle
Gargoyle Router firmware (www.gargoyle-router.com), is an open-source router firmware similar to DD-WRT. As of the latest release, 1.0.3. Gargoyle includes an update client for freedns.afraid.org.

Unlike many implementations Gargoyle supports SHA1 hashing of username/password, so the client can fetch the needed update url dynamically (users need not supply the key needed to do the update).

Windows clients
Dynamic DNS Client & Dial Up Network Watcher
I have not tested, but have been made aware of that supports FreeDNS. Appears to be a feature loaded client that supports many popular Dynamic DNS services.
 
FreeDNS Update
This is a very friendly client I have tested. It was designed specifically for FreeDNS, so there is no complicated setup process, it automatically logs into the system and downloads your update URL list.
