      Hey guys,

      Is there any way to use the description of a custom DynamicDNS in the home page widget instead of the name?

      This is what I mean, see attachment… I have no idea which one is which as they all just say "Custom".

        pfsense supports a shitton of dyndns services - which one using that is not listed?  No I do not see a way for it to show unless it reports a hostname, the widget could prob be edited to show the desc text you can put on them so that could be used to distinguish

          Currently I’m using Mythic-Beasts.
          To have it added to the list would of course also be an option ;)

          Indeed this is what I was thinking as well, to allow the description to be shown in the widget.

            Why not just use one off the list?  Its dynamic dns - you can use anybody.. Until you can get them added.. Put in a feature request for both adding them and adding desc to widget.
