On Debian you can do with
Code Select
sudo ddclient -debug -verbose -noquiet

The output looks like
Code Select

[...]
RECEIVE:  <html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: 37.xx.xxx.xxx</body></html>
DEBUG:    get_ip: using web, http://checkip.dyndns.org/ reports 37.xxx.xxx.xxx
SUCCESS:  DOMAIN1.ddnss.de: skipped: IP address was already set to 37.xxx.xxx.xxx.
SUCCESS:  DOMAIN2.spdns.de: skipped: IP address was already set to 37.xxx.xxx.xxx.


Not sure if this will work for the plugin too.
i am not an expert... just trying to help...

Safest: Log in at your dnydns provider and look at the logs, when last update was successfull/failed...

nice thanks, followed this guide as it was in depth

but i do have to say, this new DDNS client is not even comparable to the old one, have no idea why they got rid of the old one!!!!!!!!!

Sure, we might as well improve ddclient plugin after this invaluable feedback in 22.1.1 which is the first update it can possibly get!!!!!!!!!

thanks

as when i used the new client i went back on my "noip" website and it didnt update as "last update" was saying yesterday instead of today

when i reverted back to the old client, my "noip" website said "last update" was literally when i clicked the save and test button
