DynDNS

How can I get DynDNS to update the WAN IP with the public frontend IP? Or at least listen to the real WAN IP.

The pfSense gets a private DHCP IP from the broadband companys DHCP router and not the public facing one. If I override this on pfsense-WAN and set the IP to the real public IP 88XX, everything works. But this IP may change and this is exactly what I hoped pfSense (and DynDNS) would do for me.

This is how it is now:

Internet -> BroadBand Router (88.XX.XX) - pfSense (WAN: 192.168.0.20)

This is how I want it to be:

Internet -> BroadBand Router (88.XX.XX) - pfSense (WAN: 88.XX.XX)

WAN is set to recieve DHCP-address from BroadBand router. So when broadband router changes it's IP, I assumed that DynDNS-service on pfSense would set WAN: 88.XX.

Instead, the DynDNS services says that WAN already has public IP (the IP is correctly updated into DynDNS website). If I force the WAN to have 88.XX.XX, it works for now. But I want the DynDNS service to do it for me.

I have provided username/password etc. The PUBLICIP is the actual IP I want to use (88XX.XX)

It says my WAN IP has the public_ip, but it only has the DHCP-private IP on the WAN-interface. Somehow, the interface named WAN isn't updated with the public IP because DynDNS believes it already has the correct IP.
