Dynamic DNS - freedns.afraid.org - bug?

I'm having problems getting dynamic DNS on freedns.afraid.org.

Looking at freedns.afraid.org documentation (https://freedns.afraid.org/api/), it looks like the DNS update script should be directed at:

https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?

but my logs are showing the failing updates going to the following:

http://freedns.afraid.org/api/?action=getdyndns&sha=

Is anyone here successfully performing dynamic dns updates using freedns.afraid.org?

If so, what does your configuration look like?

Use the built in FreeDNS DynDNS updater in the UTM. It is under Network Services, DNS, DynDNS. Add new, choose FreeDNS. It should be straightforward from there.

Its not clear for me. Also the latest admin guide version 9.351 is not in sync with my installation version 9.352-6.

The following fields are shown for freedns:
IP strategy
Hostname
Aliases
Username
Password
Comment

What has to be filled where? How has the update URL from Freedns.afraid.org to be split up, if so?

Hi Edmund,

for me it works for a long time:

IP strategy: WebService (IPV4)
Hostname: (the domain, that I have chosen)
Alias: (not necesary, but if you have several domains at freedns.afraid.org)
Username: (self explaining)
Password: (dito)
Comment: (what ever you want)

Thanks,

I was fiddling with the update URL (I come from OpenWrt), but its not necessary.
Tried it with my credentials for freedns.afraid.org and voila it works.
