      I just upgraded to PfSense 2.2.1 (64-bit) and I get the DynDNS service for Service type “SelfHost” following error message:

      php-fpm[32623]: /services_dyndns_edit.php: Curl error occurred: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
      php-fpm[32623]: /services_dyndns_edit.php: DynDNS (mydomain.com): Current Service: selfhost
      php-fpm[32623]: /services_dyndns_edit.php: DynDNS (mydomain.com): DynDns _checkStatus() starting.
      php-fpm[32623]: /services_dyndns_edit.php: SelfHost: DNS update() starting.

      I entered all my info and the cached ip keeps showing up as 0.0.0.0. Dynamic DNS Service Type "No-IP (free)" function and displays the correct IP.

      Thanks

        The problem I have solved with an entry in the file "dyndns.class":
        …..
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

        Now it works again  :)

          Yes, if you just tell pfSense software to ignore the certificate problems and do the update anyway, then it will work! It could be updating your dynamic name/IP with a provider that is impersonating SelfHost if it cannot validate the certificate chain.

          In notes to this pull request cmb notes that update.eurodyndns.org has a broken certificate chain:

          The site that processes the updates for selfhost.de DynDNS does not get a glowing report:
          https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=carol.selfhost.de&s=82.98.87.18&latest

          By contrast, a selfless promotion for pfSense, an A rating:

          As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
