Title: [SOLVED] os-ddclient with No-Ip not finding an IP
Post by: mircsicz on June 22, 2022, 04:11:54 pm
Hi all,

os-dyndns stopped to work for me when I was using No-Ip Group Passwd's. So I had to revert to my Master Passwd for all machines using that account a while ago. That is why I was happy to read the os-ddclient is gonna replace os-dyndns!

Now that we're about to transition to 22.7 I looked into migration my setup's to os-ddclient but am facing some issue's with ddlcient:

I've already read this thread (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=26446.255) and also this thread (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=28225.msg137080#msg137080)

with my setup I see the followong in the logs:

Code: [Select]
2022-06-22T15:59:41 Notice ddclient[98565] 93904 - [meta sequenceId="7"] WARNING: found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address
2022-06-22T15:59:35 Notice ddclient[52758] 73674 - [meta sequenceId="6"] WARNING: found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address

2022-06-22T15:59:10 Notice ddclient[771] 35027 - [meta sequenceId="4"] WARNING: found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address
2022-06-22T15:59:07 Notice ddclient[98070] 17061 - [meta sequenceId="3"] WARNING: unable to determine IP address
2022-06-22T15:59:07 Notice ddclient[98070] 16274 - [meta sequenceId="2"] WARNING: found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address
2022-06-22T15:59:00 Notice ddclient[95522] 19804 - [meta sequenceId="1"] WARNING: found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address

So far I've tried the following "Check ip method's"

But the log doesn't change...

This is what my ddclient.conf looks like:
Code: [Select]
daemon=300
syslog=yes                  # log update msgs to syslog
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid   # record PID in file.
ssl=yes


use=cmd, cmd="/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/ddclient/checkip -i pppoe0 -t 1 -s noip-ipv4",
protocol=noip, \
login=MYUSER, \
password=MYPASSWD \
foo.ddns.me

I'm hoping one of you spot's the missing link...

I've also read this hint (https://askubuntu.com/questions/578725/ddclient-running-info) and tried to run it from ssh like this:

# sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet

I've had good luck with using the 'web' method of checking IP.  As a test, comment out the below line in your ddclient.conf file:

use=cmd, cmd="/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/ddclient/checkip -i pppoe0 -t 1 -s noip-ipv4",


and insert these:

use=if, if=igb0
use=web, web=freemyip.com/checkip


Note: igb0 is my WAN connection, if yours is different you will need to adjust.

Thx for the hint, but that method seems to be unavailable when using the webinterface to configure ddclient...

I've now checked the source code of /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/ddclient/checkip and found this list inside:
Code: [Select]
service_list = {
  'dyndns': '%s://checkip.dyndns.org/',
  'freedns': '%s://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/check.php',
  'googledomains': '%s://domains.google.com/checkip',
  'he': '%s://checkip.dns.he.net/',
  'ip4only.me': '%s://ip4only.me/api/',
  'ip6only.me': '%s://ip6only.me/api/',
  'ipify-ipv4': '%s://api.ipify.org/',
  'ipify-ipv6': '%s://api6.ipify.org/',
  'loopia': '%s://dns.loopia.se/checkip/checkip.php',
  'myonlineportal': '%s://myonlineportal.net/checkip',
  'noip-ipv4': '%s://ip1.dynupdate.no-ip.com/',
  'noip-ipv6': '%s://ip1.dynupdate6.no-ip.com/',
  'nsupdate.info-ipv4': '%s://ipv4.nsupdate.info/myip',
  'nsupdate.info-ipv6': '%s://ipv6.nsupdate.info/myip',
  'zoneedit': '%s://dynamic.zoneedit.com/checkip.html'
}

after checking some of these I checked googledomains and that seems to work so far:
Code: [Select]
2022-06-22T23:48:17 Notice ddclient[771] 381 - [meta sequenceId="32"] SUCCESS: foo.ddns.me: skipped: IP address was already set to 185.xxx.xx.xx.
2022-06-22T23:48:10 Notice ddclient[98070] 96230 - [meta sequenceId="31"] WARNING: updating bar.dynns.com: nochg: No update required; unnecessary attempts to change to the current address are considered abusive

I also realized that when switching back to "noip-ipv4" it breaks again...

@franco: as an EBI you might consider adding a hint to the list of offered services that most of those are just webservices like whatismyip.com... Because I first expected it to be specific for my above choosen Provider like noIP...

True. You have to edit the ddclient.conf file directly.

I use SPdyn, DDNS and goip, all three not supported in a few days by OPNsense. What to do about that?

Just use the "Custom" service for goip. I use it as well and it works without a problem. See attached screenshot.

Thank you for the solution, setting service to custom fixed my dynamic dns with no ip. :)

The same for me: DuckDNS is working while No-IP was not.
Switched to custom and now is everything ok:
Code: [Select]
Protocol: DynDns2
Server: dynupdate.no-ip.com
Username: <My No-IP Username>
Password: <My No-IP Password>
Wildcard: NOT Checked
Hostname: <The hostname i want to update>
Check IP Method: Interface
Check IP Timeout: 10
Force SSL: CHECKED
Interface to Monitor: <FTTH PPPoE Interface, in my case>
