        OK, I'll have to change that to sub @ or @. for "" (nothing) in the backend when that happens. I'll work up a different patch later today.

          If you need someone else with Cloudflare and dynamic DNS, I can try to provide assistance where needed also.

              Revert my previous patch and try this one: http://atxfiles.pfsense.org/jimp/patches/cfddns-at-trim.diff

                @jimp:

                Can someone with Cloudflare and one of these records try applying this patch with the System Patches package?

                http://atxfiles.pfsense.org/jimp/patches/cfddns-at.diff

                That lets the GUI accept an @ for the hostname which should let it work.

                If that does work and the records update properly and operate as expected, I'll commit the change, along with changing the upgrade code so that if the hostname ended up blank it would get pre-filled with @.

                If this doesn't work, then there is still another change I can try, but again I need someone who has Cloudflare with an appropriate record to test it.

                  Well, hmm. It wasn't before I copied it. Let me make it again.

                            I created https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7357 for this issue and pushed that fix. It will be in the next new snapshots and whatever release we put out next.

                            Thanks for testing!

                              I have aplied your path and it solve the GUI problem. I could now put @ in host and save the DynDNS.

                              But I am getting this in the log (I have changed real domain with "domain.demo"):

                                OK… my bad.

                                Have to put Global API key as password, do not put your account password as password.

                                User = user
                                Password = Global API Key

                                Works great... Thanks  :)

                                  I'm on the latest release (2.4.0.b.20170308.0906) and I'm having a related issue or perhaps a regression.  (I think.)

                                  I'm updating a domain with the wildcard checkbox set.  The domain to be updated is *.subdomain.domain.com.

                                  I have confirmed that I am able to set the IP directly using curl and the cloudflare api.  Via the pfsense updater, the update fails and I get the following in the log.

                                  Mar 8 12:31:38 php-fpm 92474 /services_dyndns_edit.php: phpDynDNS (home): (Error) Zone or Host ID was not found, check the hostname.

                                  Mar 8 12:31:37 php-fpm 92474 /services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS cloudflare (subdomain.domain.com): _update() starting.
                                  Mar 8 12:31:37 php-fpm 92474 /services_dyndns_edit.php: DynDns (subdomain.domain.com): Dynamic Dns: cacheIP != wan_ip. Updating. Cached IP: 0.0.0.0 WAN IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Initial update.

                                  Thanks!

                                  Update: I was able to successfully update a non-wildcard domain.  So, looks like whatever causes this issue is related to wildcard updates alone.

                                    As far as I know, Cloudflare has always required use of your global API key as password for dynamic DNS update. I have the same issue where I cannot update a root domain (blah.tld), as it requires a subdomain. The patch linked in the earlier posts works for me.

                                      The patched worked for pfsense 2.3.3 but I would like to update all the subdomains and root domain of a zone with the same ip, how can I do that? The wild card thing doesn't seem to work nor can I use the asterisk for the host name.
