Cloudflare DDNS 388.6

[joe2l]

Is anyone else experiencing issues with DDNS updating using Cloudflare with the 388.6 update on Asus-Merlin?

Shortly after I updated to 388.6 I noticed my DDNS status read "Unable to connect to Internet" I checked a few threads and found some custom scripts. I tried one and got "Registration was successful!" which I thought it was working at that point.

However, this past Sunday morning not only did the clocks change, but my IP Address changed as well and I got an email from StatusCake that my router and server were down. I checked, and my IP Address changed but Cloudflare was not updated.

I tried other custom scripts but Cloudflare was not updating. I reverted back to the In-A-Dyn script which resulted in the "Unable to connect to Internet" error even after going to 388.6-2.

Finally, I reverted back to 388.5 and while my router was booting back up from the firmware install, I got an email from StatusCake that my router and server were back online. I checked and Cloudflare had my new IP Address.

Has anyone else experienced this with 388.6 and more importantly, has anyone found a solution?

What does the system log say?

DDNS issue was due to a change in SSL certificate storage location.
You need to toggle the SSL to auto- then APPLY.
AFTERWARDS, bring it back to earlier status.

Known matter, and resolved quickly.

Thank you!

My SSL was already set to auto. I went digging through the forum and found my solution on the release thread:

"If you create a custom inadyn.conf, then you must also provide the path to the CA bundle.

ca-trust-file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

"

Now my inadyn.conf file is as follows and it worked:

# Create a unique custom API token with the following permissions:
# -> Zone.Zone - Read, Zone.DNS - Edit.
provider cloudflare.com {
    username = redacted
    password = redacted
    hostname = redacted
    ttl = 1 # optional, value of 1 is 'automatic'.
    proxied = false # optional.
}

ca-trust-file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

}

As mentioned, changed in ASUS last 388 6.
All's well that ends well.
