Using 17.1RC1, trying to setup freeDNS which I assume refers to: https://freedns.afraid.org/
entering some hostname and user/password getting these in system.log when forcing update:
Jan 30 12:10:44 OPNsense opnsense: /services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS (myhost.mine.to): PAYLOAD: ERROR: Invalid update URL (2)
Jan 30 12:10:44 OPNsense opnsense: /services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS (myhost.mine.to): (Unknown Response)
From my experience on tomato based firmwares, it is possible to enter only the system generated TOKEN (withOUT any user/password information), tried that instead of the hostname, and got same error with the token name in place of the hostname.
Thinking, ah, maybe it wants the full URL, so entered this url obtained from afraid.org:
http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?Long-uuid-token
and then got this from the UI:
"The following input errors were detected:
The Hostname contains invalid characters"
going to Docs. no hits for freedns: https://docs.opnsense.org/search.html?q=freedns&check_keywords=yes&area=default
no hits for dyndns, or even.. dns??
docs w/o search, not much help there.
Has anyone configured freedns correctly on OPNSense 17.1rc1?

Ah, took a quick look at services_dyndns_edit.php, and noticed that to configure correctly:
hostname: enter host
username: blank
password: TOKEN from freedns
actually, it is in the HELP in the UI.. oh well, missed it :)
all is working fine now.

Were you able to get it to also update IPv6? I have only been able to make it do IPv4...or IPv6 but I can not get it doing both IPv6 & IPv4 so you have both A and AAAA attached to the same name.
