I am failing to set the IP addresses at OpenDNS for my two WAN interfaces using the new Dynamic DNS service of OPNsense. With the legacy Dynamic DNS service this worked without any problems.

I have tried to configure a custom GET request, but this does not work and leads to error entries in the log. Details in the attached screenshots. The cropped "Server" field is set to "https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update?hostname=MyWAN1"
Does anybody have an idea how to configure my scenario? Or should I implement curl based script as a cron job as an alternative?
