On Tomato/firmware (sorry for the comparison) one only needs to enter a TOKEN for freeDNS service (afraid.org), but in opnsense, it seems user & password are required..
Is that secure? I'm assuming you post the request as https..
and to get token implemented, is that by opening a git issue? or some other way.
Highly useful if you need to reach your boxes remotely.
Stormy..

oh, turns out this "password" field is not really the freedns password. it's the TOKEN, see:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=4374.0
so this is OK.
Only "room for improvement" is to add a "last successful update" field, b/c it's impossible to know when it was updated from the UI unless looking in the logs.

Hey stormy,
The modelling of the DynDNS GUI is a bit inflexible -- it merely presents static fields used for different terminology.
This is somewhat queued up for a rewrite, but not before we can move it from the standard installation to a plugin.
Cheers,
