Gratisdns DDNS not working properly

[Necrotyr]

Hi,

When I setup DDNS on gratisdns it never caches the current IP and I get the following errors in syslog:

/services_dyndns_edit.php: phpDynDNS (hjemmelab.dk): (Unknown Response)

/services_dyndns_edit.php: phpDynDNS (hjemmelab.dk): PAYLOAD: ^M <title>403 Forbidden</title>^M ^M 

<center>

# 403 Forbidden

</center>

^M 

* * *

<center>nginx/1.10.1</center>

^M ^M ^M

If I create a custom DDNS entry with this URL it works perfectly.

https://ssl.gratisdns.dk/ddns.phtml?u=USERNAME&p=PASSWORD&d=DOMAIN&h=HOSTNAME&i=%ip%

What am I doing wrong?

For anyone googling and finding this post the solution is to put a FQDN in the hostname field, and also put the domain in the domain field.

It will look a bit weird in the Dynamic DNS Clients overview, such as: forum.pfsense.org.pfsense.org but it will work.
