For example I have freedns.mooo.com and my WAN internet connection name is "pppoe-out1_VDSL".
I'm sorry but I still don't understand what have you marked. For noip ddns I used almost same values and it was ok.
Can you just type what it should like to be.

Specify your domain or subdomain.

:global "dns-domain" "name.com"

Define variables for the external (WAN) interface

Case sensitive.

:global "out-interface" "pppoe"

OK, in API link I figure out where was the problem.
You should update comment in the script in API section to remove string "v=2&" from the API link.

  1. :global “out-interface” “pppoe-out1_VDSL”

  2. GO → https://freedns.afraid.org/api/ —> copy URL “ASCII” → Paste to script —> ADD Before the question mark, put a backslash "".

freedns change URL —> &v=2. Try it with or without it. I work without him.

:global "out-interface" "pppoe-out1_VDSL"
:global "api-url" "https://freedns.afraid.org/api/\?action=getdyndns&sha=blablabla"

LESHIYODESSA thanks for help, it’s working now :slight_smile:

I’m observing now how it works etc. I noticed something strange. As I have VDSL, ISP auto reboot my connection after 24h and my external IP doesn’t change but it should, right? Then freedns script says “IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required”. My last DDNS IP was working 2 maybe 3 days until this day.
Script interval time=30min.

06:12:13 system,info router rebooted
06:12:20 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1_VDSL: initializing...
06:12:20 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1_VDSL: connecting...
06:12:25 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1_VDSL: authenticated
06:12:25 pppoe,ppp,info pppoe-out1_VDSL: connected

I run script manually

06:19:20 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
06:37:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
06:43:50 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
07:07:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
07:37:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
08:07:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
08:37:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
08:41:03 system,info changed script settings by xxx

here I added “s” :global “direct-url” "https://
Because https, it see that external IP has changed? when I got:

09:07:59 script,info Service Dynamic DNS: old IP address 83.24.xxx.xxx for freednsname.mooo.com CHANGED to -> 83.9.xx.xxx
09:08:06 info fetch: file "freedns.txt" downloaded 
09:37:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
10:07:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
10:37:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required 
11:07:59 script,info IP address is NOT CHANGED, the update is not required

Just I must wait 24h and see what happens next.

Can someone please review the following?
Script seems not to work, in log I get IP HAS NOT CHANGED even though it’s different than this of the domain.
I run script manually in order to test it.
Thanks

##############Script FreeDNS.afraid.org##################
28

It worked!
I had two domains registered in freedns.afraid.org with different target ips (unlinked). I deleted the second one.
Moreover, for some reason in script source (winbox) text was unformatted (without spaces, tabs etc) so I uploaded again correctly.

I dont know which of these two affected the script

29

The script works if you have multiple domains.

30

This is the only script what worked for me:

https://github.com/midenok/hardware/blob/master/mikrotik/freedns.rsc
31

Something more easy using freedns v2.

See attachment.

Modify your freedns v2 key.

Run import script.
freedns-v2-opic-import.rsc

32

Did it works on the newest 6.42.1? I need to known that before software update.

33

Sorry, but I do not have the opportunity to check.

In order not to lose access, you can simultaneously use — https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Cloud (Starting with RouterOS v6.14).

34

MT cloud is very unstable and NTP is almost always incorrect.
As soon as they resolve the outages, We will consider using them.

35

Works good on 6.43rc7 :slight_smile:

36

please help me
i cant download freedns-v2-opic-import.rsc
