How to Setup DDNS? - FREEMYIP.COM Via GUI in 3004.388.9_2

[joeschmuck]

I'm been running Merlin for years on my routers and on my current router Asus RT-AX86U I am trying to get the DDNS using the drop down list which indicates it works with FREEMYIP.COM however I am unable to figure out how to setup the whole 3 fields. Internet searches for the past 2 days has not helped much other than to tell me I need to write a script and use Custom. If that is true, why is FREEMYIP.COM listed in the drop down list?

Regardless of the GUI, I still need to setup the router to update the DDNS as needed. If that is a script, so be it. Before I do that, I am hoping to hear of a GUI setup so I do not have to write a script.

Any pointers would be welcome.

V/r, Joe

Additionally I do have a BASH script I run on my TrueNAS machine, however the TrueNAS machine may be down for some reason and the Router should ensure the DDNS server gets an update when required.

This is how I have it set on the DDNS page:

Hostname: ASDF.freemyip.com
Username: ASDF.freemyip.com
Password: (token)
Enable wildcard & WAN IP verification: enabled
