Strato DynDNS - no hostname

waste · Apr 25, 2016, 9:35 AM

Hi,

i´m new to pfSense and i have a little Problem with my DynDNS Account. I host my homepage and the DynDNS service at Strato. Unfortunately Strato isn´t listed in the preselection of the DynDNS Provider. So I used the Custom Provider und entered my username and password. As Update-URL i entered this address: http://dyndns.strato.com/nic/update?hostname=sub.domain.com

The synchronisation works like a charm, the only Problem I have is that there is no hostname displayed. This leads me to my main Problem. I try to set up a OpenVPN server but this doesn´t work without a hostname for my DynDNS Account.

Can anyone help me with thix problem? I don´t want to change my DynDNS Provider if possible.

If my topic isn´t in the correct section ,can an admin please switch it to the OpenVPN section?

Best Regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

are you referring to the Client Export Wizard's option "Host Name Resolution"?

Try the following, it did work for me:

change the DynDNS "Hostname" option to a predefined provider like "City Network"
set the hostname and save
change the hostname back to Custom and save
now there should be the entry "DynDNS: YOUR.DOMAIN.COM" in the Client Export Wizard's option "Host Name Resolution"

Regards
