      I'm trying to update DuckDNS with my IPV6 address.

      To fill in your IPv4 address you need to append " %IP% " to the update URL:

      https://www.duckdns.org/update?domains={YOURVALUE}&token={YOURVALUE}&ip=%IP%
      

      What do I need to append for IPv6 ?

      https://www.duckdns.org/update?domains={YOURVALUE}&token={YOURVALUE}&ip=%IP%&ipv6=????

        @ThreeEyedFish I do use the 'Custom (v6)' template in pfSense and the same URL as for IPv4, works for me and instead of &ip=%IP% I do use &ipv6=%IP%.

        https://www.duckdns.org/update?domains=<the domain>&token=<the token&ipv6=%IP%

            @patient0 said in DuckDNS IPv6 update URL ?:

            e the 'Custom (v6)' template

            Thanks a lot for your post. I was trying to get IPv4 and IPv6 to work all on the same line.

            for future me to set this up again:
            Make two Dynamic DNS Clients, one for IPv4 and another for IPv6.

            Service Type = Custom (v6)
            Interface to monitor = WAN
            HTTP API DNS option = check Force IPv4 DNS Resolution
            Update URL = notes above
            Results Match = OK

            Without checking the HTTP API DNS option I would get an error in the system logs saying. I'm embarrassed how long it took me to figure out what was going on.
            'ERROR [phpDynDNS] Curl error occurred: Could not resolve host: www.duckdns.org '
