DynDNS blocking for abuse after 6.306 update

Has anyone else noticed the above? Three different clients of ours running ASL 6 (and one of our own networks) have been blocked for abuse. Perhaps it has something to do with our hack for multiple custom hosts (see https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/51/t/18969, but I can't quite tell as yet.

Yes, this happened to our office Astaro firewall after updating it to 6.306. DynDNS closed the account due to abuse.

Hi there all,
DynDNS has changed their abuse policy and enforced it.

Astaro is currently in contact with dyndns.com in order to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

best regards
Gert

Ugh. One of the boxes I "fixed" the other day is giving me the dreaded "dyndns daemon not running - restarted" message... It's looking for dyndns.conf instead of ez-ipupdate.conf. One of the latest updates must have re-edited /var/mdw/scripts/dyndns. Watch out for this.

Good news for V7...
(1) I just fixed the update issue.
(2) For custom mode, multiple hostnames will be possible in the Network->DNS->DynDNS->Hostname field.
(3) ez-ipudate will have a nice start/stop script again, such that it can be watched by the Selfmonitor.

Very probably, all this will be in Up2Date 7.006.

You will not need your hacks any more in 7.006. And besides, they will not work any more: /var/mdw/scripts/dyndns will be overwritten, /etc/dyndns.conf-default will not exist any more, ... [;)]

Probably, the next V6 Up2Date will also have the fix (without any of the new features, of course).

Timber666:

It will probably be available soon after the V7 fix I would thing, but you need to seriously consider upgrading quite soon to V6 or V7.
