I'm trying to get this working again on my freenas. Opened the service config for the first time in ages. When I hit ok I get the 'invalid domain' error. Some searching showed it now need a hash # as the seperator between domain and hash. If I use that instead I get 'Incorrect usage of the # delimiter.' instead.

I'm using

mydomain.mooo.com#myhash

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

[JJT211]

I gave up trying to get this to work on FreeNAS. I wound up just using it on pfSense. It's the most practical place to be running a Dynamic DNS anyways IMO

I gave up as well. The config for Afraid is broken because it's different than the others (uses API tokes rather than username/password) and the script that generates the config doesn't know how to handle that. I ended up using the "sample cron job" from the afraid.org web page and run it as a cron job on FreeNAS.

 

[JohnnyFreeNAS]

I have tried everything mentioned here. none of it works. the qui doesn't want to accept the correct domain format that afraid is looking for. I'm on 9.3-stable. is there any way the developer will see these messages?

 

[dlavigne]

Nope, not unless you create a bug report at bugs.freenas.org. If you create one, post the issue number here.

 

[Yatti420]

I use dnsomatic and then have freedns pull from their.. I use OpenDNS on my networks so it allows for easy admin etc..

 

[ian351c]

The Dynamic DNS Service configuration script is still broken for Afraid.org on FreeNAS. I opened a bug report last year but no one seemed interested in fixing it. I ended up setting up a cron job in the GUI that runs this command:

/usr/local/bin/curl "http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?yourapikeyhere" | /usr/bin/logger -t dyndnscurl

I have a separate cron job for each API key.

Hi,

I have just had this problem too, but I have fixed it.

The solution is quite simple - and here it is for all you who have searched, hope this helps. I am running FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201602031011

First login to afraid.org.
You will need to get the hash used for each of your hostnames, to add into the config later - get all the info you need by going to:
http://freedns.afraid.org/api/ and look for the link titled "ASCII", which should be near the top, this will give you all the required information on one page.

the list will be your hostnames, ip addresses then the update URL in the format:

Code:

host.example.com|10.10.10.10|http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?sOmErAnDoMhAsHwItHnUmBeRs=

now go to FreeNas->Services, and open the DynamicDNS settings
select "freedns.afraid.org"
IPserver can be left blank (I do)
Domain Name - enter your hostname followed by a "#" then the hash from the above line (do not include the "=") example:

Code:

for one host:
host.example.com#sOmErAnDoMhAsHwItHnUmBeRs
for two hosts:
host1.example.com#sOmErAnDoMhAsHwItHnUmBeRs,host2.example.com#dIfFrAnDoMhAsHwItHnUmBeRs2

add your username and password (and verify password)
set your update period (my connection is pretty stable so I use 300)
forced update period: 320000

[OPTIONAL]
for a third hostname, in the "Auxiliary parameters" box, add the deatils in the following format:

Code:

--alias host.example.com,sOmErAnDoMhAsHwItHnUmBeRs

click save, and enjoy the updates!

(Apologies for lack of neatness, but it should hopefully be clear enough - Ive had a long day configuring stuff, but thought I'd add my findings on here)
