As of a couple of days ago, Dynamic DNS is no longer working for me on a RT-AC66U running the latest Merlin build. Nothing has changed in the past week at all other than this not working.

My provider is Namecheap, and when trying to use that:

Apr 12 14:01:21 ddns update: ez-ipupdate: starting...
Apr 12 14:01:21 ddns update: connected to dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com (199.188.202.39) on port 80.
Apr 12 14:01:21 ddns update: unknown return code: 400
Apr 12 14:01:21 ddns update: server response: Bad Request
Apr 12 14:01:21 ddns update: asusddns_update: 1

After trying to switch to DNSomatic, using the setting of all.dnsomatic.com as hostname like all guides say to:

Apr 12 14:01:51 ddns update: ez-ipupdate: starting...
Apr 12 14:01:51 ddns update: connected to updates.dnsomatic.com (67.215.92.215) on port 80.
Apr 12 14:01:51 ddns update: invalid hostname: all.dnsomatic.com
Apr 12 14:01:51 ddns update: asusddns_update: 2

Anyone else seeing this? Is it just me?
 
Zoneedit is also down

Ironically, I'm having a similar problem with Zoneedit, but it appears that the site "dynamic.zoneedit.com" is down.

Are you sure Ez-ipupdate is working alright?
My ddclient is working well with DnsOMatic right now.
 
Fixed it

Well, I switched from zoneedit to namecheap and all is well.

Hi guys,

I'm having issues getting Namecheap to work as well.
I'm using my main domain name as the dynamic name. So not a sub-domain.

On my WHS box, I can successfully update using the program namecheapDDNS Client. It has @ as the host and the domain name setup along with the password.

If I try the same variables in the Merin build, it keeps giving me error msg: "Request error! Please try again"

Here's what shows up in the logs:

Code:
Apr 29 21:36:07 watchdog: start ddns.
Apr 29 21:36:07 rc_service: watchdog 308:notify_rc start_ddns

Apr 29 21:36:07 ddns update: asusddns_update: 1


Any idea why this isn't working?
I'm running 374.41

Thanks in advance!
 
I'm using Namecheap as well and have no issue. In the error you provided it's says that the password entered doesn't match. Could it be that you've got an extra character being sent? The first time I copied and pasted the password in I had a extra space that was pasted in.
