      Hello,

      I am using my Domain Registrar's Dynamic DNS feature, or at least, I'm trying to. My provider is Pairnic.com. I have everything set, except for the hostname that I want to update. The web-ui doesn't ask for this. Is this an oversight, or am I missing something, and not configuring correctly?

        Dynamic DNS with pairNIC
        https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=78810.0

        Host name field for custom is provide in the URL query string.
        The instruction Pairnic provides isn't real clear on their expected URL query string fields but typically a dynamic DNS update URL may look something like this.
        https://dynamic.pairnic.com/nic/update?hostname=MyDomain.com&myip=%IP%

        They also don't appear to provide a list of possible status responses.
        Here is a non pairnic example.
        good %IP%|chgd %IP%|nochg %IP%|crtd %IP%
