Hostname in "Custom" DynDNS client service type

[MacGyves]

Hi,

my DynDNS provider (STRATO) requires a hostname-parameter to be set in the update-request.

Since I couldn't find any field for specifying the hostname on the DynDNS-client configuration site for a custom service, I added it manually to the Update-URL.

Like that, it is possible to update the IP for my domain.

Though, pfsense does not know, which hostname is actually updated. As a consequence, the column "hostname" in the Dynamic DNS client overview site stays empty and I cannot choose "DynDNS: …" as Host Name Resolution when trying to export my OpenVPN configuration (VPN>OpenVPN>ClientExport).
In fact, I get the error "You need to specify an IP or hostname. Failed to export config files!" when clicking on any of the export-formats (e.g. android).

As a temporary solution I choose "other" as the "Host Name Resolution" and wrote my domain name.

What I actually expected is, that the hostname is directly recognized/configurable by the Dynamic DNS client for a custom DynDNS service and can then be choosen easily in the Host Name Resolution field as DynDNS: <domainname>.

Is this a topic for a bug report? Or is it possible to include STRATO as a DynDNS service type in the future? Or maybe add a hostname-field for the custom service type?

Thanks in advance.</domainname>

The hostname goes in the update URL with custom entries. For strato specifically, it looks like it should be:

http://dyndns.strato.com/nic/update/?hostname=myhost.example.com

Old topic, i know. :O

As far as I can see this worked for me (pfSense Version 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) )

Thanks!
