Just to give my piece of information on the topic.
I had for quite a long time the same problem, and could not determine which was the root of the problem.

Finally i choose to remove any special characters in the password (that worked for many years) and suddenly everything started working again.
Only used number, lower-case and upper-case.

Could not determine if the problem is caused in ddwrt or in dnsomatic, but it anyway removing the special character made it work.

Excuse a noob here, but what exactly is the difference between having a DDNS service like no-ip for example and DNS-o-Matic?

DDNS services update your dynamic IP by themselves don't they? what need is there for DNS-o-Matic then?

DSN-O-Matic simply forwards your IP to different DDNS services, it's a convenient solution when other solutions fail. So you only need to use it if you have no alternative or if you use multiple services, like OpenDNS and NO-IP at the same time.

but never updates, also dnsomatic never picks up the update.

tried all the settings listed in this topc and no joy, can anyone suggest anything??

Firmware: DD-WRT v24SP2-MULTI (03/21/11) std
On a Buffalo WZR-D1800H : AirStation™ 1750 Gigabit Dual Band Route

I have tried everything listed on this topic, as well as on the dnsomatic site as well as this page of the dd wrt wiki http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/OpenDNS

and yet it never update dnsomatic

cheers

Damien

Here are my DDNS settings:

DDNS Service: Custom
DYNDNS Server: updates.dnsomatic.com
Username: someemail@somedomain.com
Password: *********
Hostname: myownhostname
URL: https://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=
Do not use external ip check: No
Force update interval: 1

My crontab contains:
Code:
20 3 * * * root sh /opt/script/ina.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

My ina.sh is:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
killall -9 inadyn
#cp /opt/etc/inadyn.conf /tmp/ddns
inadyn --input_file /tmp/ddns/inadyn.conf -u someemail@somedomain.com -p ********

Of course, cron has to work properly!

This was the exact problem I was having. I had an "&" in my password and it was causing the update to fail. I would imagine this is because the password does not get URL encoded before being sent, and so any characters that are significant in a URL (like '?', '=', and '&') will likely cause the same issue.

Since OpenDNS has changed their password requirements so that passwords now MUST have at least one special character, make sure you avoid those 3 at least.

I have tried to set this up on my E3000, but it just says "DDNS Status: Connecting to server" and does not update.

Any way to troubleshoot this?

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

on left side is my dnsomatic user/password, and the only special char in password is a "dot" (.)

on the right side is my user/pass for google domains, which i had working previously with ddns under openwrt.

I'm willing to bet the dot in your password is the issue. Try changing it to letters/numbers only and see if it works, then change the password to include more complexity once you've validated the configuration is correct and working.

dnsomatic requires the password to have a special character. I've tried @ $ . none of them work, I'm thinking it might be someother problem? Do you have a recommendation of which special character to use?

I think I have a + in mine. You could try that.

Hi,
Did you try with " /nic/update?hostname= " ?.
That is the way that works for me.
The first slash (/) looks like be important. Try it and tell us if works for you.
Regards!.
