DynDNS DNSoMATIC shows ABUSE

Hi,

since 14/15/02/22 all XG firewalls show the status ABUSE in DynDNS for the provider DNS-o-MATIC.

Can it be that the Sophos simply something often tries to update something? The problem exists firewalls from 18.0.6 upwards.

Does anyone have similar experiences or an idea?

  • Hi,

    could you help or should I better open a support case?

    Got about 15 firewalls with the same issue.

  • Hello there,

    Sorry I forgot to update you.

    In a couple of cases, I found the issue was with the Dynamic Server, it seems some of them don't accept special characters such as "-","=" on the name.

    Feel free to open a case with us and share the Case ID, once you have it, but I believe the issue might be with your DynDNS provider, I would also double-check with them your naming convention. 

    Regards,
