DDNS update not working

[WayneNotBruce]

The log just keeps returning these lines:

Jan 24 12:20:03 inadyn[11156]: Failed connecting to freedns.afraid.org: Operation now in progress
Jan 24 12:20:03 inadyn[11156]: Cannot find your FreeDNS account API keys

I tried changing my User ID to email. I tried the custom script with the direct url key and it still cant do the DDNS update. I'm pretty much stuck now. Any idea what's wrong here? Could it be an issue on afraid.org side?

Router model and firmware version, please.

Was it ever working? If so, did you do/change anything just before it failed?

Have you tried something along the lines of deleting the account and starting again from scratch?

(I’ve used the asuscomm.com built-in DDNS account for a couple of decades; it’s so quick and simple to set up that you’re left feeling you must have overlooked some steps.)

Zenwifi XT8, 388.2_2

Ummm, I didn't use freedns.afraid.org before. But my Asus DDNS was working perfectly. Duckdns is currently fine too with custom script.

There was one I couldn’t get to work; I think it might have been afraid.org (this was during the one and only very short time in all those years that I had a problem with asus DDNS). After all that fussing around and forum posts…., when asus DDNS did come back up, I realised just how deceptively simple it is to set up, and, since then, I’ve never looked back.

if your Asus DDNS is working perfectly, I’d say count your blessings and stick with it and save yourself lots of time and trouble.

the auto registration for afraid.org is still broken for the RT-AC68U firmware. please fix it.

Welcome to the forums @pandaman1784.

That's not how it works.

And who are you directing this to?

State your model, state your firmware, state the steps you're taking that are leading to the failure in your estimation.

Post screenshots (they help a lot). State if you're trying this with a mobile 'app' (not recommended), or with a browser on a trusted PC (and with multiple browsers, and/or cache flushing).

Test with stock firmware to see if it works.

Tx/Rx values are "1" and no connections.

I just installed Merlin on GT-AX6000, kind of 1st time. I have a guest network and have Tesla charger, echo show and honeywell thermostats connected. However, after installed latest Merlin, Tesla charger works fine, but thermostats and echo show have no internet connections and Tx/Rx rates are...

RMerlin is a one-man show (Eric), it may very well turn out that the code that controls this is a closed-source blob that Eric has no control over.
