The dyndns API says that "Updates can be performed over HTTP or SSL-encrypted HTTPS (preferred)." However, my dd-wrt24sp1vpn hangs at "Connecting to server".

In addition, Trusted SIGnature (TSIG) can provide a way for secure dynamic dns updates. But haven't had any luck with this either.
"Dynamic DNS Updates via TSIG" is a howto, but doesn't mention dd-wrt. URL wraps to 2 lines.

nope, dd-wrt ddns still doesn't support https

[rjt]

soulstace, in 24sp1, choosing Custom from the DDNS list allows one to specify a url, do you why https doesn't work there?

https://username:password@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=yourhostname&myip=ipaddress&wildcard=NOCHG&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG

i have tried filling in the url, but hangs with "Connecting To Server" ...

[soulstace]

because that link uses https which dd-wrt's DDNS client does not support.

I just created a new feature request for this. Speak up there if you want it added.

Thanks for putting in the feature request. Now i just have to find my trac username / password.

i changed a URL from DynDns to make it ssl, don't know if it is correct for DynDns.org or not.

I was about to create a topic on this, but I searched first ...

bump? it shouldn't be too bad, and unfortunately I can't be non-paranoid ;( I'll just script it for now ...

[alexhaj]

so has this been added yet because my version of dd-wrt is still hangs at connecting to server when i add https:/dynamic.name-services.com as the server.

I am using inadyn from DD-WRT in order to do this. My settings:

DDNS Service: Custom
DYNDNS Server: updates.dnsomatic.com
User Name: my_username@domain.com
Password: my_password
Host Name: all.dnsomatic.com
URL: https://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=my%20hostname%20as%20defined%20in%20my%20OpenDNS%20settings

Correction:

Host Name: my%20hostname%20as%20defined%20in%20my%20OpenDNS%20settings
URL: https://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=
