Configuring ddclient on OPNSense for dynamic DNS

Using os-ddclient 1.2.7 on OPNSense 25.1.3 to dynamically update my IP on my domain at Porkbun getting error

FAILED: {"status":"ERROR","message":"Invalid domain."})

Using pk1 and sk1 from the API as username password. Hostname is set correctly.

I emailed Porkbun and they blamed ddclient saying it hasn't been updated to the new API, which from what I can tell it has been.

Any suggestions?

Yes, I tried os-caddy 1.8.3 but I get "unable to lookup current IPs from DNS records" in the logs.

I use Porkbun and ddclient and I'm not having any issues with it; working properly.

Do you already have an A record in your DNS Records for your domain within Porkbun?

In Opnsense, in the ddclient General Settings are you using the ddclient backend or the native?  Should be ddclient.

Check IP Method is Interface
Interface to monitor is WAN
Force SSL checked.

Hope this helps.

That fact that it is working for you with Porkbun does help.  I double checked all my settings and everything seems correct but still getting the same error. I will email porkbun again.
