DynDNS Not Updating

Glen O'Riley

Hi all I've recently started playing with dynamic DNS through FreeDNS and I've noticed that the firewall isn't updating the IP address (been static IP till now / new ISP). I saw a bug from 2013 and would hope they fixed it from back then.

Is there a common failure here or some sort of common fix?

    Hi

    Would you please share the logs from Configuration Daemon at the time when you edit and save changes? It should show us any error if there's one from UTM. Also, share the status of DynDNS from the configuration option. If possible, take Shell access and from root, run this command: ddclient debug run and then run ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet You should see if there are any errors. Please share the error here or DM me so I can have a better look at it.

    Regards

    Thanks, I will post some of the content which should be shared so that others can see if they have any suggests to make.



    This mostly looks to be an issue with DNS since it says bad hostname. Check with your UTM's DNS and internet connection. I'll also add to what I sent in the message. Take the Shell access and check;

    1. Do a lookup, nslookup checkip.dyndns.org  (If this fails that means it's an issue with DNS).

    2. Do a connection, wget checkip.dyndns.org (This should connect and download the index file which will contain UTM's Publick IP).

    Once we have that in place, we can check for the other things.
