Dynamic DNS working - sort of

[dcol]

I just install a new OPNsense and updated to 23.1.1_2
After setting the interface and testing the intenet, everything seems to be working.
Next step was to add my Dynamic DNS so I install the dd-client plugin and added my Cloudflare info.
It appears to update the DNS in Clouflare ok, which is good, but the current IP and Updated fields do not populate and there are no logs generated for the update event.

I have tried using both ddclient and OPNsense for the backend. Not really sure what this means.

Am I missing something , or this a bug?

ddclient is currently not working correctly for a lot of providers.  It's updating the IP, but not correctly parsing the success messages.

But isn't the legacy plugin being depreciated?
It actually is updating the DNS, it's just you wouldn't know it looking at OPNsense.
The other issue I have with ddclient is it doesn't set the Proxy flag in Cloudflare. This could be a deal breaker in moving from PFsense, which properly supports Cloudflare Dynamic DNS.

I'm not sure what you're asking in regards to the legacy plugin.  I never mentioned it.

No idea about a proxy flag.  I don't use Cloudflare.

I mention the Legacy becase many say it is better than dd-client, but I don't want to use it because from what I read, it is going away eventually.

So then I guess it is a bug not correctly parsing the success messages or generating any logs. But it does work as expected in updating the DNS. I just updated to 23.1.2 which has an updated dd-client and strongswan, but the bugs remain.

I just updated to 23.1.2 which has an updated dd-client and strongswan, but the bugs remain.

Same here, ddclient still has no entries for the "Current IP" or the "Updated" column. Also I still find this error message in the log:

Code: [Select]

ddclient[82651] 88973 - [meta sequenceId="1"] WARNING: file /usr/local/etc/ddclient.conf, line 4: Invalid Value for keyword 'ipv6' = 'yes'
Are you sure there was an updated ddclient version included in 23.1.2? I could not find it in the changelog ...

[CJ]

There's been no ddclient update.  OPNSense is running the latest version.

I've opened an issue on github for this: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/6407

They can't fix it until ddclient cuts a release with the fix in it.
