      Hello,

      I`m using Custom Dynamic DNS on pfSense.
      Yesterday evening I was unable to connect to pfS.
      After I got home I found that DDNS did not update to the new IP which changed sometime yesterday.

      Ive tested two times now by making modem go offline so it gets a new IP but it`s not working.
      Only after I go into the entry and hit Save & Force Update the change is being picked up.

      Is there something more that needs to be set?
      Some interval to check IP or so?

      Force IPv4 resolving, Verify SSL peer are checked.
      Update url: https://update.XXXXXXXX.XX/nic/update?hostname=pfs.XXXXXX.XXX&myip=%IP%

      Thanks.

        Ok, found a workaround/solution here:
        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=102859.msg573655

        It should update IP automatically, shouldn`t it?

          The workaround works but i would guess it should update by itself, or not?
