Dynamic DNS on 9.400 - not sure it's working

BarryG

Hi,

I have a new 9.400 build at home, from scratch with settings manually re-entered.

I have been using the DynDNS setup in the UTM, with OpenDNS and NameCheap.

In 9.400, it constantly says "DynDNS status is: An update attempt is in progress." for both services.

The system.log regularly says

2016:04:04-10:42:58 fw ddclient[23926]: WARNING:  file /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, line 3: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = ''

2016:04:04-10:43:04 fw ddclient[23926]: WARNING:   Wait at least 5 minutes between update attempts.

So, I'm not sure if it's working or not.

Thanks,

Barry

    Hi Barry,

    Greetings.

    We had a reported Bug which reflected the same log lines. This was resolved in v9.200. 

    Just curious if DynDNS certificate is still valid. 

    If you have configured a namecheap account with aliases the UTM shows the status "The last update attempt failed" because of an error in the system.log.

    This error happens because the UTM sends the wrong request to the namecheap server.

    Thanks

    Hi Sachin,

    The log is above, but I am using the same configuration as was previously working on a previous 9.3x UTM.

    Which certificate are you referring to?

    Thanks,
    Barry

    Hi Barry,

    Are you using any certificate in conjunction to DyDNS. I read it in the comments section when the issue was reported in our database. As the previous issue was something related to SSL certificate. I don't feel that in your case but I was curious. 

    I feel the issue has come up again, I request you to raise a case with support to check this and the previous Bug ID was NUTML-8190. 

    Thanks

    Hi, no, I haven't set up any certificates for NameCheap or OpenDNS dynamic DNS services.

    I'm currently just a Home User; I'm assuming there (still) is no support for home users, right?

    Thanks

    My IP has changed and this still isn't working.

    I shutdown the firewall last night for a scheduled power outage; here's the system log from this morning:

    It looks like it tried to run ddclient before the internet connection was up!

    After that, it did update OpenDNS but not NameCheap:
