Title: DynDNS

Contratulations, you did it. Now ddclient is the only DynDNS-Client and its a bullshit because of no support.  >:(

I'll bet $50 that @gertfriend is not the new maintainer.

Ahh, this aged pretty well. The irony is the information was known yesterday if anyone would have bothered to check. Found out today by accident fixing DuckDNS for 23.7.x.

I think the removal of the old DynDNS system is a joke. The DDclient based plug-in isn't grat. it hasn't had a maintainer for two years and isn't supporting basic features like dual stack IPv4 and IPv6. Upgrades are always nice. Sadly, the DDclient based one is a downgrade. A extremely bad one....

When will NameCheap be implemented into the OPNsense Dynamic DNS?

Let's not be silly here. The old maintainer wasn't very good but at least he merged the patch I proposed just two month ago...  https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/pull/542

You have to remember open source software is not improved by complaints and DynDNS is a hobby problem that even most hobby programmers don't care about. You can call this state of the art if you want. If you know a big player that wants to invest in DynDNS open source you should try to convince them it's important to improve its state. :)
