Dynamic Dns - Force an update to the provider
-

Dynamic DNS under pfSense will force an update every 25 days if the IP address doesn't change… hence this line in the log file:
Sep 10 01:01:00 pfSense php-cgi: rc.dyndns.update: phpDynDNS (xxxxxx.noip.me): No change in my IP address and/or 25 days has not passed. Not updating dynamic DNS entry.
If your DDNS provider requires an update to be more frequent, even if the address hasn't changed, then you might open a feature request to allow a changeable setting for DDNS updates, for providers that need more frequent updates.
The alternate solution is to edit the DDNS entry, then click the Save and Force Update button. No need to delete files or delete the DDNS entry.
