Title: ddclient with no-ip.com
Post by: tekkyguy on January 31, 2023, 02:27:44 AM
Hi,

I tried several ways to setup ddclient with my subscribed account no-ip.com by installing ddclient plugin.
I am always having an error telling me cannot find a valid IPV4 on my WAN interface.
I am been using my account with my former router without any flaws since many years. I an wonderting why I cannot find an easy solution to make it works with OPNsence.

Does anyone had success with NO-IP.com ???

Regards,

Jeff

Sounds like a problem with the 'Check ip method'. Try using 'Interface' first before trying other options.

It was indeed the case. It works now, and I am able to see the update process was successful on the no-ip web dashboard. But I can't see /OPNsense/Services/Dynamic DNS the status of the last attempt in the window neither the actual IP adress.... blank area.   :-[

It should be in the log file, in the Notice/Informational/Debug view?

Yes, I am able to see it in the log file.... but why it is not displayed in the web console section Dynamic DNS =>  under "accounts" ??

The info is empty... "Current IP" and "Updated" are staying empty ???

Oh ok I got what you mean. It's a glitch then because I'm using Cloudflare and mine is showing that info.

You're not alone. Mine updated as well but doesn't show on the opnsense console.

You might need to change "backend" under "general settings" from "ddclient" to "OPNsense." I have an active post about this. It's the only way I got NO-IP working with a multi-WAN setup. If you don't have multiple WANs, then maybe you don't need to, but changing this setting certainly was necessary in my case.
