[solved] Possible bug in dyndns service?

[matzus]

Hi,

when I set the “use-web” option on the DynDNS update service (as I am behind a NAT router), it gets ignored by ddclient:

“set service dns dynamic interface eth0 use-web url ‘https://ipinfo.io/ip’”

It works when I manually set the following in /etc/ddclient.conf:

“use=web, web=https://ipinfo.io/ip”

However, this is not persistent after a system reboot. Does anyone else experience this behaviour? Am I doing someting wrong? Or might this be a bug?

Unfortunately, the issue persists. Here are some details:

set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service noip host-name [redacted]
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service noip login ‘[redacted]’
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service noip password ‘[redacted]’
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service noip server ‘dynupdate.no-ip.com’
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 use-web url ‘https://ipinfo.io/ip’

sudo cat /etc/ddclient.conf

Thanks for the detailed report/description.

Bug report opened: ⚓ T998 "service dns dynamic" does now honor the "use-web" statement

I can confirm that 1.2.0-rc7 solves the issue for me. Thanks a lot!
