Pardon if I post in the wrong spot or other mistakes, it’s my first go here.
I’m having trouble getting my IPFire (2.25 (x86_64) - Core Update 154) DDNS Service to work with my domain and provider, Namecheap. In the IPFire DDNS settings on the WebGUI I’ve entered: Namecheap from the dropdown menu and ticked the “enabled” box. I put then domain into the Hostname and Username fields, and the DynamicDNS Password Token supplied by Namecheap in their interface and hit Add. After reloading the DDNS entry shows up in Current Hosts at the bottom, however it does not work. The log entry on IPFire says “Domain not found” (more below).
After realizing it wasn’t working, I spent some time on the Live Chat with Namecheap where they confirm (as best they can) that things are working on their end.
I’ve messed about and tried a lot of combinations of possible inputs on the WebGUI to no avail. I eventually found this link https.wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/services/dyndns_providers (sorry new user so 1 link per post) which is the setup/guidance I’m currently using, but does not work.
Here is the log I got when I tried to debug force update the DDNS after ssh’ing into IPFire (my details changed):
