I have posted this question in older boards and I have to assume they just aren't looked at.

Is anyone successfully using ddclient with DNS Made Easy? If so, please post the settings you are using. I tried everything I could find in other threads. Nothing works. I am still using the legacy dyndns and that works fine, but it is going away and is no longer supported.
Thanks

Got it to work and here is how you set up the account for DNS Made Easy

Enabled: checked
Service: DNS Made Easy
Username: <your login username>
Password: <your login password>
Hostname: <List of all your Dynamic DNS ID's>
Check ip method: Interface
Check ip timeout: 10
Force SSL: checked
Interface to monitor: WAN
Description: <Your Description>

Then to force the update, run in shell: # sudo ddclient -force
Also, create a new Cron job to periodically force the ddclient update.
I set mine to 0 * * * * so it forces an update every hour

Lots of trial and error to figure this out. Hope this helps others.
