Hello,
I created a Script on my Tomato Router to get an (by me in the past unused) IP address, which is started by need by myself and does the following:
- Determine the current WAN IP
- Protocol the current WAN IP in wan_ip_history.txt
- Get a new WAN IP (service wan restart)
- Check if the new WAN IP already is showing up in wan_ip_history.txt
+ If already showing up in protocol: Do "service wan restart" max. 10 times again, protocol and warn if no unused IP has been gotten
+ If not showing up in protocl: Protocol the new IP in wan_ip_history.txt and exit the script
That is working very fine and my ISP does have enough IPs that I can have thousand differents per month without many tries.
But the problem is, that my Internet Service Provider is giving me a new IP at least every 24 hours and there also can be power breakdwons in my house (the router will reboot and get a new IP). So what is the correct way to protocol my used IPs in the WAN UP Scripts? Or do I have to put the script in an other "Admin - Script"? Is there maybe any command which I can use in the WAN Up Script to get a new IP which does NOT create a new instance of the WAN Up Script? Otherwise it will end in a loop, if I say "service wan restart" in the WAN Up Script, cause it is calling itself endless again.
I tried to put my WanIPRenewScript in the WAN-UP Section, but then the router gets in a loop and reconnects the whole time, even if it got an unused IP address. Can you please help me to get that working for provider reconnects and power losses also?
