Hello there,
I'll try to be brief with my problem.
I have a RT-AC68U that used to be my main router. Now I just bought a RT-AX58U that works really well. The old RT-AC68U is configured as an AiMhesh node with wired backhaul, both with 384.17 firmware and everything is fine, or almost.
On my RT-AC68U I used a custom DDNS script with the changeip.com provider and never had a problem. This is the script:
The thing is when I set up the new RT-AX58U this never worked, but did work in the old one. Then I read that Merlin now uses inadyn for custom DDNS scripts. Tried too but didn't work either, dns entry were never updated in the changeip.com panel.
Digging into it I've just discovered that the problem seems to be the wget/curl call, the host nic.changeip.com doesn't respond either through HTTP or HTTPS. The funny thing is if I put the url in my browser it does work and updates the DDNS entry, but from the router itself it doesn't. Both PC and router uses same Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1). I can't see anything in the router's log that indicates something blocks this connections (all HTTP filtering is disabled).
I even tried changing wget user agent to the one my computer has and still no response.
Neither a telnet works from the router:
And yes, tried rebooting the router. I can't figure how changeip.com may be blocking this, I guess the problem is in my router.
Changing ddns provider is not an option, too many places to change things in.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
