      Hello all,

      i issues with Porkbun which manifested today. Did they changed anything on their side so it cannot be authenticated anymore?

      I am on PfSense 2.8.1-RELEASE, System_Patches 2.2.28, ACME 1.2.

      Trying to force update but not working. Have poor log output which does not tell me anything:

      Apr 22 12:00:03 	php-cgi 	45817 	rc.dyndns.update: Error message:
      Apr 22 12:00:02 	php-cgi 	45817 	rc.dyndns.update: Dynamic DNS porkbun (*.madomain.com): _update() starting.
      Apr 22 12:00:02 	php-cgi 	45817 	rc.dyndns.update: DynDns (*.madomain.com): Dynamic Dns: cacheIP != wan_ip. Updating. Cached IP: 0.0.0.0 WAN IP: 95.156.x.x
      Apr 22 12:00:02 	php-cgi 	45817 	rc.dyndns.update: Dynamic Dns (*.madomain.com): Current WAN IP: 95.156.1x.x Cached IP: 0.0.0.0
      Apr 22 12:00:02 	php-cgi 	45817 	rc.dyndns.update: Dynamic DNS porkbun (*.madomain.com): _detectChange() starting.
      Apr 22 12:00:02 	php-cgi 	45817 	rc.dyndns.update: Dynamic DNS: updatedns() starting
      

      Error message is empty.

      But when i do

      curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
           -X POST \
           -d '{"apikey":"YOUR_API_KEY", "secretapikey":"YOUR_SECRET_KEY"}' \
           https://api.porkbun.com/api/json/v3/ping
      
      

      i get output both PfSEnse and random Debian VM:

      Your config file does not appear to be formatted correctly.
      

      I did not touch anything for months except frequent package and patches update.

      When i checked porkbun.com all "looks" fine, but DNS was old IP, so i change it manually just to crank webpage to work for now. And it works.
      My ISP changes adress every 24 hours, if that mean anything in this case.

      Also, i do have two more dynamicdns services running at same wan, DuiaDns.net and freeDNS, both workd fine.

      Only porkbun i see IP 0.0.0.0

      Does anyone have any clue about this? Is it enough data for any decent conclusion?

      Thank you, in advance.

        Porkbun had hiccup on their end affecting API recognition. They resolve it shortly.

        Sorry guys for taking space here.

        Cheers!
