      Oct 5 23:33:35 php-fpm 603 /rc.dyndns.update: Dynamic DNS (home.jake9wi.com) There was an error trying to determine the public IP for interface - wan (igc3 ).

      My ISP is Comcast. I am trying to use Cloudflare.

        That would be this interface /address :

        ?

        What does Status / Interfaces show you ?
        Also : use SSH or console, what does the main menu shows you ?

        I presume your WAN is working.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          You renamed this interface it seems - wonder if that could be problematic? Says in your error wan, but looks like you renamed it port1wan?

            I renamed it to just wan (tried upper and lowercase) but same error Oct 6 10:49:15 php-fpm 87314 /services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS (home.jake9wi.com) There was an error trying to determine the public IP for interface - wan (igc3 ).

            I get the same error if I select Always us check IP service
