DDNS can not fiqure out my WAN IP Address

[jake9wi]

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.

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

@jake9wi Try adding a valid IP to Gateway Monitor IP

Navigate to System / Routing / Gateways and edit your gateway. You'll find the Monitor IP in there. I am using 8.8.8.8 but it can be any IP that you can rely on. Post back if that resolves the issue.

@scottlindner That fixed it. Thank you. Wished the pfsense log message just said it thought the gateway was down instead of can't determine IP.

@jake9wi I'm glad that worked. I just went through hell to figure that out myself. It seems to be a new problem caused by a recent update. I'm not sure why some have the issue and others do not.
