I cannot get Dynamic DNS
-
Config:
Service Type: No-IP
Interface to monitor: WAN
Check IP Mode: Always use the Check Ip Service.
Hostname, username and password are correct (triple checked)
I enabled verbose logs.Then for Check UP Services I have only one enabled:
https://checkip.amazonaws.com/In system logs I see:
Apr 29 14:34:56 check_reload_status 517 Syncing firewall Apr 29 14:34:56 php-fpm 67754 /services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS: updatedns() starting Apr 29 14:34:56 php-fpm 67754 /services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS (XXX) There was an error trying to determine the public IP for interface - wan (pppoe0 ).Same config was working before, now it's not working anymore.
Changed password, changed check IP service, checked everything, can't get it to work.
plz help

No-IP switched from username/password to DDNS keys

I use the default Check IP Service

@elvisimprsntr thanks but what the logs show is that pfSense can't even fetch my public IP.
So the problem is not with NO-IP, I believe.

You have to create a DDNS key on No-IP, then configure pfSense DDNS to use those keys

Interesting.. I have not set up a key and have used No-IP for years. Still working right now.
Guess I need to look up your link.

I should say, No-IP switched to DDNS keys for paid domains.
Are you using a free No-IP DDNS domain or paid?

Yes I have a paid domain.
Yes I have a DDNS key and it is configured in pfSense.
I'm still getting that error and can't update the IP.
I believe it has something to do with the fact that my connexion is PPPoE but I don't understand why it should matter since I have a Check IP Service enabled.

Paid. I have a few domains through them.

I think the old username and password method still works, it’s just less secure since it uses your domain credentials. Not good OPSEC.
No-IP is encouraging people to use DDNS keys.
I left Check IP Mode set to default since pfsense has public IP from my ATT modem in IP passthrough mode.

@BlazeStar is your WAN marked as up in the 'Gateways' widget or under 'Status / Gateways'?
In the past people ran into similar issues when pfSense gateway monitoring thinks that the gateway is down.
And additionally: what monitoring IP is set for the WAN interface (System / Routing / Gateway)? Sometimes you can't use the ISPs gateway IP for monitoring of PPPoE connections since this IP is not ping-able. You would have to use another public IP, like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or 9.9.9.9.
