22.1 Legacy Series / Re: os-ddclient
March 20, 2022, 12:08:02 AM
Not sure if I should report this here or not, but os-ddclient doesn't seem to support the cPanel web call either.
(cPanel documentation)

Short version:
In cPanel you enable the DDNS feature for a domain or subdomain.
cPanel will then generate a unique URL when setting this up, something like this:

https://mydomain.com/cpanelwebcall/somecharactershere

When calling this link, no username, password, or other complicated things are needed.
Just submit the link. cPanel will update the appropriate records and returns a plain text reply, formatted like so:

ipv4: 123.123.123.123

(where 123.123.123.123 is obviously your public IP address)

The old DDNS in OPNSense handled this just fine by selecting "Custom", however "os-ddclient" (v1.3) doesn't work that way ...
Anyhoo - hope this is useful for the involved developer or developers - apologies if this is not the right place to report this. 😊

For reference, a similar request for pfSense (not by me).
