Hi,
I updated to this Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r54109 std (11/24/23) last week and have been having DDNS issues since.

My configuration has not changed, yet I get this error:

Update forced for alias ef595166-xyxy-4e3c-xyxyxy-zyzyzyzyzyz, new IP# 192.168.0.99
Fatal error in DDNS server response: DDNS server response not OK
Error response from DDNS server, ignoring ...

Any help in solving is appreciated.
Thanks

your alias looks like the Username, the alias is your dns name (in the GUI the Hostname), something like myname.hopto.org.

The new IP is also wrong, its a private IP, but must be your Internet IP. Did you activate "Use Externam IP Check" and "Use SSL"? Try only one of these settings and then both together until you get the external IP.

[bobby121418]

Thanks, so I got the external IP by putting both the ticks.
However I tried putting my username in Hostname in the GUI, but still get an error.
SO, do we not need to put Hostname Hex as per the DDNS server indications?

Update forced for alias xxxxxxxxx, new IP# xxx.xx.9.xx
Fatal error in DDNS server response: DDNS server response not OK
Error response from DDNS server, ignoring ...

Thanks

you didn't mention which DDNS-Service you are using and I'm not a DDNS expert, but I've never seen writing the Hostname in Hex.

You can check the inadyn github or the DD-WRT Wiki:

My DDNS server is DuckDNS. I am not sure if it is the recommended one but it's free and have been using it for 2 years+ without any issues.

The configuration they recommended is like this:

DDNS Service:Custom
DYNSND Server:duckdns.org
Username:NA
Password:NA
Hostname:af345123-6e27-4e3c-94ad-379239da1c54
URL:http://www.duckdns.org/update?domains=myname&token=
Additional DDNS Options:--verbose 5
Do no use External IP Check:Yes
Force Update Interval:10

I have changed it a bit to remove private info.
Thanks

DDNS/Inadyn has seen a huge upgrade you have to adjust your settings

Do not use custom DNS just use the Duck DNS template!

I recently added debug options for DDNS so that you can see what is going on/wrong.

You can set debug options from command line (SSH/Putty):
nvram set ddns_loglevel=[debug|info|notice|warning]

So if you want to see everything do:
nvram set ddns_loglevel=debug

After that restart DDNS:
service ddns restart

It will output a lot of information to syslog view with:
grep -i -E 'ddns|inadyn' /var/log/messages

When you are done reset to default value (which is notice)
nvram unset ddns_loglevel && service ddns restart

Thanks for the info.
I actually just realized Duck DNS was added to the list.
I have tried inputting the information as provided by DuckDNS page, such as hostname which is that long hex data, but what do I put as Token?

Also, I cannot seem to access SSH. In Admin/Management SSH management is disabled and greyed out.

Thanks

The strange HEX number is logically your token and the hostname is your dyndns URL

By the way, it also says on the duckdns page that this long number is your token and not the hostname so I don't know what kind of nonsense you are doing.

[bobby121418]

Thank you.
I can now access SSH, but my password does not work. I used my router admin username and password, but cannot get in. Am I using a wrong user/password?

Also, please tell me what I should put for the DDNS Token?
Thanks

Sarcasm

Just to be clear, as per DuckDNS own helpful information (see image) it suggests the long HEX as the Hostname.

However, following your note, I put the long HEX as the Token.

I have tried various things for the Hostname, such as

duckdns.org

I get the following error:

In-a-dyn version 2.12.0-dev -- Dynamic DNS update client.
Update forced for alias duckdns.org, new IP# 91.xxx.yyy.zzz
Fatal error in DDNS server response: DDNS server response not OK

also used just my domain

Thanks

not my problem if it is too difficult for you to fill in 2 simple fields.


by the way, i had already tested duckdns earlier when we updated inadyn

Here is a recent test.

And now it's enough with the nonsense

just a small question, can people like you even breathe on their own? or do you also need instructions?

[bobby121418]

Sarcasm aside, I have done all you suggested and still having issues.
