Has anyone successfully set up DDNS on their router (mine is GT-AC5300) that is using an ATT Pace Plc Model 5268AC home gateway? (This is the regular ATT home router that ATT provides w/ all DSL service that I know of.) ATT has my gateway set to Allow all applications, protocols, ports to come through so it "should" be working. I also have the wifi turned off since I have the AC5300. According to ATT this should be as transparent as it can get.
when I enable DDNS on the router, it cannot connect & shows "Request error! please try again"
router settings:
Server field: Domains.Google.com
Hostname: @thenameofmydomain.com
Username: username that google domains provides in its Synthetic record
Password: password that google domains provides in its Synthetic record
WAN IP and hostname verification: cheked Yes
Check every 30 minute(s)
HTTPS/SSL Certificate: checked "None" to simplify for troubleshooting. Same result for "Free Cert from Lets' Encrypt"
To add, Under Internet status in the router, it does show the correct WAN IP. Its not an IP from the ATT gateway & is the IP address I use to connect to the media server (mentioned below).
google domain settings I set up a DNS Synthetic record just like this - https://support.google.com/domains/answer/6147083
I'm doing this all to make accessing my emby home media server easier (remotely). The media server does work fine if I use my external IP address. Its just getting DDNS working that seems to be the issue.
Any ideas or tips?
