Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2020 18:41 Post subject: [SOLVED] DDNS updater error with OpenDNS/DNS-O-Matic

Something is going on with the DDNS updater. I've had a stable setup for years using OpenDNS' DNS-O-Matic service, but in the last week or so something has changed and is now causing an error.

Other people are seeing this also: https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360071971352-DDNS-updater-getting-server-moved-error-

My setup is attached and the specific results I'm seeing now are as follows:

Code:

Thu Jul 30 13:21:24 2020: INADYN: Started 'INADYN Advanced version 1.96-ADV' - dynamic DNS updater.
Thu Jul 30 13:21:25 2020: I:INADYN: IP address for alias 'all.dnsomatic.com' needs update to '50.{redacted}'
Thu Jul 30 13:21:26 2020: W:INADYN: Response Code: 1
Thu Jul 30 13:21:26 2020: W:INADYN: Error validating DYNDNS svr answer. Check usr,pass,hostname! (HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
location: https://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=all.dnsomatic.com
date: Thu, 30 Jul 2020 18:21:25 GMT
server: opendns
connection: close
content-length: 0

d>Current IP Address: 50.{redacted}
)

Is anyone else seeing this?

I'm having the exact same issue. Was working fine for several years until a couple of weeks ago.

Running: Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/24/13) giga

Have you tried to change http: to https: in the URL?

Yes, I've tried that, and I still get the same error.

It seems that In-a-Dyn might need to be updated (current version is 2.7, and DD-WRT is on 1.96) and https will need to be used.

As a workaround, I've added this command to my cron:

Code:

0 0 * * 0 /usr/bin/curl -k --silent -u "my_user_name:my_password" "https://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=all.dnsomatic.com" >/dev/null 2>&1

I also added the command to my startup commands (minus the cron numerics).

That's a good workaround, if used disable GUI DDNS. Just a note about my_user_name, if it is your email address eg. user@yahoo.com use user%40yahoo.com

OpenDNS support got back to me today. They said this:

Quote:

Can you try updating your router/application to send updates to updates.dnsomatic.com using port 443 (https://updates.dnsomatic.com)? We no longer allow updates to this service using port 80.

Leaving everything else as-is, adding port 443 in the URL works like a champ. (https://updates.dnsomatic.com:443/nic/update?hostname=) No more need for cron or startup scripts.

I've attached a screen shot for posterity. Hope this helps in the future.

Great news that the old 1.96 GUI does work with https.

We need the Wiki to be updated...

Thanks for Posting!

Thank you so much! Works great!

Any idea why this issue has started occurring in the first place?

if you are having problems with dnsomatic you can also try http but specify port 443. This is what worked for me.

http://updates.dnsomatic.com:443/nic/update?hostname=

coski_da,

you can try replacing https://updates.dnsomatic.com:443/nic/update?hostname= with

http://updates.dnsomatic.com:443/nic/update?hostname= ( change https to http):
