This. But I use namecheap and the built in tool on pfsense to keep an A record up to date if it ever changed.
I have NameCheap as well. I was trying to set this up with the ddclient on OPNSense but the logs suggested it couldn't connect to NameCheap. What do you need to authenticate other than the DDNS passcode supplied by NameCheap?
Oof. Set this up years ago now..
Add the hostname IE public Add the domain name IE starkcommando.com
This will be public.starkcommando.com
Leave username blank (this was a gotchya for me, if I recall correctly)
Then put the generated namecheap ddns password (not your account password) that matches the record in.
All set.
I should automate something like that too. I just have one A record pointing to my IP and all my subdomains CNAME’d to that so that if it ever changes, I just have to update that one record.
