DietPi-DDNS | Update FreeDNS API URL #6375
Conversation
It seems that the provider has changed the update URL, which has to be corrected for that predefined FreeDNS menu item. With the previous implementation the dietpi system showed the error 404.

Strange, here it still shows the URL we use: https://freedns.afraid.org/ There is a link to "v2 interface", but it is hidden behind login. Is it probably that one which matches your new URL? Because the old one is still shown on this public place, I wonder whether it depends on some registration plan or option? |

Hello @MichaIng
Find attached some relevant screenshot from the provider user account. Your mentioned "v2 interface" seems to be only a web interface update. If there are still questions, I can view the necessary data by my test access by 07.06.2023 at the latest.

Okay, seems to be right, let's apply this change then. Aside of changelog I'll try to get some other FreeDNS users testing this during beta phase. If there is a good support channel, probably you could ask why the API URL from their homepage differs from what one gets from the user control panel? |

changed the title

Thank you. Also from my point of view, it would be good if other users would test my reported URL structure. I wrote an email to the FreeDNS support a few minutes ago, and I'll get back to you when I got the answer. |

Hi. In one of the previouse posts I told that I contacted the FreeDNS support. Unfortunately, no one ever answered. This topic is closed/solved from my side. |

Many thanks for testing and feedback 🙂. |
Recently, I tried to set up DynDNS via the substantiated provider "FreeDNS". After acceptance of the setting using the token, the error 404 was displayed. When I used the custom URL, it worked. That URL was provided, if the user was logged in into the freedns user portal.
I believe that in the meantime the URL has changed from "https://sync.afraid.org/u/" to "http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?".
The effected line would have to be changed from
url="https://sync.afraid.org/u/$PASSWORD/"to
url="https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?$PASSWORD"
