      What is namecheap responding with?

      Does it correctly update from a different dyndns client?

        I'm only using namecheap for dynamic dns.

          I removed the .cache file generated for namecheap, and now when I save the settings for its client, the .cache file contains "0.0.0.0|1661343037", and in the UI it's displayed "0.0.0.0".
          I also added a freeDNS API Version 2 client, which corectly registers and caches the dynamic IP.

            Hmm, looks OK. Are you actually seeing the 'Unknown Response' error logged?

              Yes, this is the log generated after I saved the settings for namecheap:

                Hmm, looks exactly like what that patch should correct.

                Does it show as applied? Is the change actually present in /etc/inc/dyndns.class?

                  This is the namecheap section in the /etc/inc/dyndns.class file:

                    Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                    When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                      Hmm, sure looks like the response is correct. 🤔

                        With my limited php experience I was able to find out the problem.
                        The response is an xml sent on one line, with the encoding set to utf-16, so line $ncresponse = xml2array(substr($tmp, strpos($tmp, "\n") + 1)); gets executed, and $ncresponse is actually empty.
                        Which means that $ncresponse does not match any of the ifs. so it ends up in the last else.

                          I just added this line
                          $tmp = str_replace("utf-16", "utf-8", $data);
                          under line
                          $tmp = str_replace("^M", "", $data);.

                          It's rather crude, but it works :))

                          edit:
                          This could work too: $tmp = str_replace("utf-16\"?>", "utf-16\"?>\n", $data);
