      Hi!

      Had two incidences of failed updates of DynDNS service recently, most likely due to downtimes of the DynDNS server.

      I learned from these cases that pfsense tries exactly ONE time to update the IP after a new IP has been obtained. Is there any possibility to make pfsense retry until it succeeds?

      Would be very helpful to re-establish my tunnels… :-D

      Kind regards

        Hi,

        Have you tried cron service on your box to update current ip address.

          Hi SGTR!

          Thanx for the reply, yes, that's what I thought of! But I didn't know which .php to run from where… As I went to the Cron tab in the GUI I already found such a job (at a nonsense time...:-) ) dunno how I configured that in the past (from the GUI?).

          I established some Cron jobs at useful times, hope that will solve the problem in the future!

          Many thanx again
