Dynamic DNS on Route53

[depam]

Hello,

Just trying to integrate DynamicDNS with my existing Route53 zone.
I have added IAM policy and API access. It looks good and I can see that pfsense created IN A record on my Route53.
However, I am curious how to test this so I changed the record to Route53 itself by changing IP address and tried to edit and save and update option on Pfsense and it doesn't seem to update the record.

Does this mean that the record will only be updated when WAN IP changes? Appreciate if you can share your experience if it does as expected. Thanks in advance.

Route 53 DDNS update have stopped working for me too Here is a post I made on Reddit r/PFSENSE. I got no replies there, so posting here as a reply in the hope that this will be worthy of someone's attention.

When doing DDNS updates, the log says:

Jun 21 00:37:42 	php-fpm 	703 	/services_dyndns_edit.php: Curl error occurred: Failed to connect to route53.amazonaws.com port 443: Operation timed out
Jun 21 00:37:42 	php-fpm 	703 	/services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS route53 (xxx.xxx.net): _checkStatus() starting.

To debug this, I noticed that earlier in the log, it showed the URL it was going to use for the update:

Jun 21 00:36:27 	php-fpm 	703 	/services_dyndns_edit.php: Sending request to: https://route53.amazonaws.com/2013-04-01/hostedzone/--zoneID--/rrset

So I tried a curl to that url from the pfSense command line -- worked fine. So no idea why the connect is failing. Incidentally, I have no IPv6 enabled on the box. The aws log shows the last successful update was about 45 days ago, I think when I was still on 2.4.4 which is why I'm worried this might be a 2.4.5 or 2.4.5-p1 bug.

UPDATE:
This appears to be related to routing, please see further info in the related post just made in the routing area
