Starting now, if you would like to maintain your free Dyn account, you must log into your account once a month. Failure to do so will result in expiration and loss of your hostname. This activity helps us eliminate hostnames that are no longer needed and/or dormant. Note that using an update client will no longer suffice for this monthly login.
Guys,
I found a auto-login script via Google you can install on your UTM to auto-login your DynDNS account once a week to make sure your accounts stays active.

I've made some small adjustments to the script from the source to be able to use it on the UTM. Just fill in your username/password within the script.
Finally I've created a cronjob to start the script once a week on sunday. That's it!
The password is 16 characters long with number,upper and lower case letters. No special passwords
