help with dynamicDNS and cloudflare DNS

[sajata]

i have installed the latest openSense Versions
OPNsense 25.1.5_5-amd64
FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p2
OpenSSL 3.0.16

no pending updates, every thing works great including OpenVPN, i have verizon FiOS which changes your IP every couple of months so i want to use the DynamicDNS service to keep it up to date.  My DNS provider is cloudflare, i have installed DDclient and configured it according it to the documentation.  but the log file is confusing.

its says that the reip request was successful but it also says no A record found for xxx
here is my cloudflare a records
;; A Records
chestersprings.taosgroup.org.   1   IN   A   173.62.205.19 ; ' cf_tags=cf-proxied:false
taosgroup.org.   1   IN   A   173.62.205.55 ; cf_tags=cf-proxied:false
xxx.taosgroup.org.   1   IN   A   1.1.1.1 ; cf_tags=cf-proxied:false
it looks like my user and access key to cloudflare seems to be configured correctly.  if you can tell me how to dump by ddclient config in text i can also supply that.


thanks for any help....

I have the same problem with OPNSense 25.4.1, and ddclient version 1.27_2

Anybody know how to solve this ?

Just fixed it for me,  it seems the cloudflare plugin does not accept '@' for the domain A record, just changed it to xxxxxx.com and xxxxxx.eu instead of the '@' and the updates happened.  So I guess that you need to provide the full DNS entry to work with cloudflare.
