      Hi it seems like Dynamic DNS is broken after I upgraded to pfsense+. I am on latest 22.01-RELEASE.
      I see the red is status and my IP is sticking to an old IP. Has any one have this issues?

      Also please let me know how to debug this issue. I will appreciate that.

        @andy22 I have the feeling it just takes longer and or you have to create a cronjob if applicable.

          I see the following error in logs as I enabled the verbose logging:

          "Public IP address could not be extracted from Check IP Service"

            @andy22 said in Dynamic DNS broken after pfsense+ upgrade:

            Public IP address could not be extracted from Check IP Service

            That would suggest that you can not reach the service your using to determine the public IP.

            By default it would be http://checkip.dyndns.org

            Can you open that in a browser? Do you get your public IP?

              I can reach that site http://checkip.dyndns.org and get IP address correctly.
              Also I can do curl from my pfsense box and get the results back.

                @andy22 If you install the System Patches package you'll see the recommended patch:
                Fix Google Domains Dynamic DNS response processing (Redmine #12754)

                Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
