Hi all
I am trying to use DDClient to update the IP of a dynamic DNS subdomain.
I have installed and configure DDClient in order to consider only my dynamic DNS service provider (infomaniak).
To do so, I have kept commented out all dynamic DNS service provider in /etc/ddclient.conf and have added mine.
However, when I run sudo ddclient -query, ddclient seems to go through all providers I have commented out:
> sudo ddclient -query
use=if, if=eth0 address is 192.168.w.y
use=if, if=lo address is 127.0.0.1
use=if, if=wlan1 address is NOT FOUND
use=web, web=dnspark address is NOT FOUND
use=web, web=dyndns address is [FONT=monospace]xx.xx.xx.xx
use=web, web=loopia address is xx.xx.xx.xx
use=web, web=https://ipv4.infomaniak.com/ip.php address is xx.xx.xx.xx[/FONT]
xx.xx.xx.xx is of course my external IP address.
My /etc/ddclient.conf is pasted below :
