@MrGlasspoole said in Dynamic DNS not working - fixed IP works:
What do you mean?
My web hoster is a well known company in Germany.
And you can select it in the pfSense DDNS settings.
Hummm.
What has the web host to do with this ?
They - the web host - have a static IP - ....
@MrGlasspoole said in Dynamic DNS not working - fixed IP works:
And as i wrote. The IP updating to the DDNS server is working.
....
And i get back the IP from my website.
So, it's not working - it shouldn't not return the IP of this web host / web site - it should return the IP of your WAN at that moment.
Example : I have a dedicated server on the Internet - and a hand full of domain names.
One is "test-domaine.fr".
Check out :
root@ns311465:~# dig test-domaine.fr A +short
5.196.43.182
So, 5.196.43.182 is an IP4v of this dedicated server.
"www" is the same :
root@ns311465:~# dig www.test-domaine.fr A +short
5.196.43.182
But I have also an "URL" that points to my pfSense / WAN IP :
root@ns311465:~# dig br*t.test-domaine.fr A +short
82.127.*4.254
and that's correct, that IP is my WAN IP right now.
So, I can use "br*t.test-domaine.fr" as an URL that conenctes me to my .... OpenVPN running on my pfSense.
When my WAN IP changes, pfSense will take care of updating the A record for br*t.test-domaine.fr using DYNDNS (actually, its RFC2136 based, using my own 'bind' master domain server, running on that server).
Again : show us your logs ...
