19.7 Legacy Series / Re: Dynamic DNS not working for interfaces besides WAN (IPv4 only)
« on: October 23, 2019, 03:03:50 pm »
So after looking through the plugin code and looking at the get_dyndns_ip function, I determined the goal for the dynamic DNS plugin is only to report what public IP address is returned from http://checkip.dyndns.org.
So for the case of my zerotier IP address, I will manually add DNS for it since I was trying to use the dynamic dns plugin for what it wasn't intended to do (i.e. it wasn't designed to add DNS entries for the address on the interface, only the address perceived from outside the network).
Maybe there's room to add a checkbox "Use interface IP Address" and to allow it to work in the way I expected it to.
