FreeDNS with DynDNS - IP update fails since upgrade to os-dyndns 1.27_1

[phaze75]

I have  issues with the dyndns service. I use FreeDNS. Since the last update of the os-dyndns package to version1.27_1 the update of a changed IP doesn't work anymore. Please find the log entries below:

The service status shows the value "n/a" in the field "Cached IP". This is awkward as the service seems to extract the correct IP according to the logfile...

Could you please provide suggestions on how to solve this? I am currently relying on manual updates outside the opnsense system.

Can you take a look at https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/issues/2428 ? Some people have issue with v2 URL... this seems to give a clue maybe:

Error 404 : Page not found

It means the URL wasn't found on the server contacted, but not really sure if this is from FreeDNS or some local proxy or something else.


Cheers,

Yes! Indeed! The version 2 update interface of FreeDNS had been deactivated. Only god knows why...

Now it works flawlessly again! Thanks @franco!

Yay, happy to hear :)
