I have a linksys 160nl router. I have updated firmware to dd-wrt and i enabled via bios WOL option for my home pc. Then I've created an account on freedns.afraid.org in order to be able to access my home router then to be able to wake my pc via router interface and to connect remotely to it. Seems that dyndns no longer has free accounts which I knew they worked so I've created via this dnd updater account. All work fine on host(router), Ip updates itself but I am not able to access my router via http://xxx.mooo.com:8080. I have ping reply on my remote location from router/home Ip but still I am not able to access it. Below are print screens taken remotely from home via teamviewer from router. Any ideas?

I had this issue running V24-sp2 on a Cisco E3000. Based on the info found on this thread, here are the detailed steps I used to ultimately fix it:
1. log into your freedns.afraid.org account
2. click on "Dynamic DNS" (left-side navigation)
3. on the line corresponding to the domain alias in question, get the hash value by hovering over "Direct URL" link (or click through it):
http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?VHJmOQdxMzFVMVtBQUxET0dsSToxMTYwNzE1Ng==
4. once you obtain the full/correct hash, manually enter it into DD-WRT into the "Host Name" field, as in:
myname.afraid.org,VHJmOQdxMzFVMVtBQUxET0dsSToxMTYwNzE1Ng==
5. click "Apply Settings" button at bottom
6. the response dialog should now reflect a successful DDNS update
(n.b. hash above is a dummy, shown merely as an example)
--------NOTE-------
The URL was obtained from the address bar by clicking Direct Link in my page on freedns.afraid.org
I had the same problem in my TP-Link WDR3600 while trying to update my freedns.afraid.org ddns domain.
Problem was solved by configuring custom ddns service as you described.
Edit: I have DD-WRT build 24118. This is configuration I use:
Sorry to post to this very old thread.
But does anyone know how I would go an update several entries at the same time.
In my case I have an A and AAAA record which would need to be updated with current values from Router.
with dns-o-matic ( https://www.dnsomatic.com/ ) you can do that. You configure your domains in dns-o-matic. In your router you set your dns-o-matic account to update all your domains.
It is a little bit overkill to use another service with another account, to update 2x single entries with freedns.afraid.org.
Looks like I have to check their HTTP update procedure, and get a script ready.

Do you want to update 2 different domains from freedns.afraid.org? so, it is easier. You just have to activate option "Link updates of the same IP together?" under "dynamic dns" menu in freedns panel.
