DDNS IP check

Post by sirazhudin@gmail.com »

Hi, I have the issues with the DDNS.
1- is that the DDNS cannot check the IPs for it uses inappropriate internet services
Oct 15 20:34:00 rt1 daemon.info ddns_gargoyle[31595]: domain=sirazh.ddns.net
Oct 15 20:34:00 rt1 daemon.info ddns_gargoyle[31595]: Could not determine local ip from url: http://my-ip-address.com
Oct 15 20:34:00 rt1 daemon.info ddns_gargoyle[31595]: Could not determine local ip from url: http://www.selfseo.com/what_is_my_ip.php

Oct 15 20:34:01 rt1 daemon.info ddns_gargoyle[31595]: local IP = yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
Oct 15 20:34:01 rt1 daemon.info ddns_gargoyle[31595]: remote IP = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Oct 15 20:34:01 rt1 daemon.info ddns_gargoyle[31595]: Update successful

2. The DDNS openvpn IP via TUN interface although I push only certain routes and do not pass all the traffic via VPN.

I think this is a bug(s)

Just to add to this. I'm having erratic issues with DDNS as well, and I believe I've gotten to the root of my culprit (namely, a bogus public IP address of 1.10.0.1). Here are the relevant but scrubbed log entries:

Code: Select all

Oct 18 12:51:07 Gargoyle daemon.info ddns_gargoyle[2157]:       Update successful
I've checked and verified that my-ip-address.com has been defaced, and will consistently return this bogus address.

in 1.9.2 many service providers are outdated, not exists, or just a simple timeout in the response. Here you can find providers, but please check all of them, and clear the not existed providers:

Thank you for your feedback.
This is low priority to fix, as the functionality is not broken.

But i will keep it in mind next time i am near that module
