Getflix and automatic updating my IP address.

[bushidodragon76]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with a script to automatically update my Getflix account.
I have created a "wan-start" script using the advice given at Getflix which includes the line below plus adding a sleep 5 before hand as advised within the forum to another user's question.

curl -u <api_key>:x -X PUT https://www.getflix.com.au/api/v1/addresses.json

The script appears to run on a reboot but because I`m having to run an Asus DSL-N14U it gives only the local network ip of 192.168.0.2 and not the public ip address according to the log and of course doesn't update my Getflix account.

I am using a script which I found on the forum to update DuckDNS which works around this problem but I'm unsure how to do the same with Getflix.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thx

Why do you need to create a script? I use getflix myself and you just need to set up the DDNS from your asus router and set the getflix page to your DDNS

I also suggest to check: "Use slow DNS lookup" on Getflix IP page setting to prevent some DDNS caching issues.

I have the following curl -u <api_key>:x -X PUT https://www.getflix.com.au/api/v1/addresses.json on my nat_start script and it works perfectly.
Do you have a double NAT situation?
