DNS-O-Matic
-
DNS-o-matic just uses https requests to update the account you have, and then it updates the various dynamic dns registars.
We currently use ez-ipupdate to update dynamic dns entries, but this program does not support dns-o-matic. However, I believe I can implement dns-o-matic with simple https requests. After doing some investigation, this should be doable. I need this functionality too so I am going to look into implementing it.This will be an easy change to support dns-o-matic, but I will try to build in the ability to select which IP/interface to update to which host. No eta on this as my plate with other life issues is kinda full, but I definitely want to get this feature in pfsense. -
I have dual wan so I get two wan IPs. Would be nice to update the two IPs instead of only supporting one currently in PFSENSE. Cheers!
-
That should not be a problem
-
We no longer use ez-ipupdate. We use a php solution. Look in /etc/inc/dyndns.class
-
Yea I just noticed that earlier. Basically about the same thing that will need to be done to support dns-o-matic. In this case it will be super easy.
-
Allright its supported now in HEAD and Releng 1 builds. Per interface is not in there yet but I'm working on that.
-
Can someone please give me a hint what DNS-O-MATIC is about compared to a DynDns service?
I don't get it. -
DNs-o-matic allows you to update multiple dns records spread out across multiple dynamic dns registrars (dyndns.com, etc) through their website. Check out dnsomatic.com for more information.

Thanks, got it.

John from OpenDNS here. We operate DNS-O-Matic… would love to see support added to pfSense and make sure everyone knows about that option. We'll tell everyone we can. :)
Let me know if there are questions I can help with.

DNS-O-MaticSupport for this will appear in 1.3. Thanks for stopping by! :)
-
Is there any way this can make it into 1.2?
I don't want to sound critical, but 1.3 seems like a long way off.
-
Nope.
1.2 is featue frozen only hunting down the last issues.
New features will be added to 1.3 and above. -
For those that are anxious to use DNS-O-Matic now with PFSense 1.2 RC3 see the following instructions:
