How to setup DDNS?

I am new to opnSense, but the DDNS-setup confuses me, i don't really have a specific provider i need to use, i tried with duckdns and dynu, but i seem to get the same problem. I downloaded the dd-client plugin, but the whole setup isn't really that easy to do, there is no "test"-function to see if the settings actually work, and it gives no indication of not working, but if i go into the logs and change the log-level i get a notice "found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address", with both duckdns and dynu.  I have attached my settings, any tips on what i am doing wrong?

There are some known issue with newere Dyndns client os-ddclient,  https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=26446.msg127725#msg127725

Try DuckDNS, it worked for me, I had no luck with Noip

I tried duckDNS first, but i had the same problem there as with dynu.

Try disabeling "Force SSL". Some DDNS providers don't work if you have that enabled, if HTTPS is something you must have, then namecheap works just fine for it.

Thanks this at least gave me som new errors :)

Like Failed to update Server said: 'KO'
and "WARNING: Wait at least 5 minutes between update attempts"

Despite the update time being 6 minutes, any idea what can be wrong here?

From that I would say either bug in DDNS client, service in question doesn't accept non-SSL connections or (hopefully) you have tried to renew IP too many times.
