Title: [Solved] netcup dynDNS
Post by: Mr.Goodcat on January 18, 2026, 08:17:04 PM
Hello,

I was trying to add a domain on netcup to ddclient for dynDNS. However, netcup is not selectable from the menu.
Yet, according to the documentation it should be available: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/dynamic_dns.html#provider-specific-configuration (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/dynamic_dns.html#provider-specific-configuration)

After some digging, I came across this nifty python script: https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/master/dns/ddclient/src/opnsense/scripts/ddclient/lib/account/netcup.py (https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/master/dns/ddclient/src/opnsense/scripts/ddclient/lib/account/netcup.py)

Could this be an issue of missing GUI integration or am I overlooking something obvious?

Note that you can run the ddclient in two different mode, selectable on the general settings tab: native and ddclient.
Both may provide different service providers.

Mine is in native mode and I can select netcup.

That's just the hint I was looking for! Thank you very much! :-D
