Namecheap Wildcard DDNS

[Trinnik]

There is a small issue with updating a Namecheap DDNS if you need wildcard support. If you select the Namecheap option in the DDNS settings and enter all of the correct information it will only update the direct domain and not wildcards, even if Enable Wildcard is selected. The update link provided to me by Namecheap support is, https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=[[host]&domain=[domain_name]&password=[ddns_password]&ip=[your_ip]. To be able to update your wildcard domains you need to specify "*" as your hostname assuming you already have Namecheap A records for wildcard DDNS. So for OPNSense to update your wildcard Namecheap IP select custom and use that link with the wildcard identifier instead of selecting the built in Namecheap settings.
