      I noticed a lot of new DynDNS providers have been added to 2.0. WTFDNS is a free DNS provider that has yet another DynDNS method.

      It should be fairly simple to implement. Here are the instructions.

      I was able to get it working easily enough with 1.2.3 by installing wget and using the cron package to run the command every 5 minutes.

      Being a free provider, it's easy for anyone to sign up and test things out.

        2.0 is in a features lock. http://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/roadmap
        You could make a package (or a How-To) that adds this to the list of available DDNS providers.
        wallabybob did a how to for OpenDNS a while back.

          Oh, I didn't think this would be considered a new feature exactly (it's more of an additional option on an existing feature). I haven't really had a chance to try out 2.0 much yet, but maybe when I do I'll look at how to integrate it and write something up.

            Several people wanted OpenDNS (me included), they didnt add it until 2.0, so I dont see this service being added until the next release.

            if you want to add it to the wiki send an email to wikiadmin@pfsense.org with your request or you can create a thread on the forum.

              Try the custom DynDNS patches here:

              http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=27704.new;topicseen#new

              If they get enough testing/approval they might make it in.
