      Hi, there I host my domain using google domain services.
      I created a subdomain (x.mydomain.com) in google for my domain "pointing" to my STATIC IP. See screenshot below:

      9282e4a8-3524-4c7b-94e7-826e49da9e45-image.png

      How do I configure this in my netgate 2100 router?

      Should I go to SERVICES -> DYNAMIC DNS and enter the details? See screenshot below

      How do I determine the username / password?

      Is the above approach correct?

      OR

      I also followed a second approach: Removed CNAME and Forward x.mydomain.com to my static IP in google domains? Well this works without configuring my router but when i enter x.mydomain.com the url shows my static IP -- not good.

        @netboy Never mind....

        This worked.

        1. Removed CNAME x.mydomain.com
        2. Configured Dynamic DNS in google domain for x.mydomain.com
        3. Used pfsense SERVICES -> DYNAMIC DNS and selected "google domains" and entered username and password and voila x.mydomain.com works and points to my server

        Sorry for the confusing post.
