Description

Important notices
Before you add a new report, we ask you kindly to acknowledge the following:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I seems that dyndns only gets updated when the IP changes? I´ve been running into problems where OPNSense isn´t updating the dyndns after a firmware upgrade or normal restart. So then when i confirm my settings it seems that there is no way to push an update. Whether if i change the current config or restart the service no new IP gets registered.

Describe the solution you'd like
So just a button to manually push would be nice. And: Live logging on what happens if i manually push. Just to debug problems.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, i´m currently running an extra linux server to just grab my IP and push it to my dyndns provider. As the dyndns client on opnsense doesn´t seem to work correctly. * I´m using strato as provider.

Research direction

Start with the dns/ddclient plugin and read CONTRIBUTING.md before locating the existing configuration and service controls. Done should provide a manual update action and live logging that makes the update result debuggable, including for the reported Strato provider case.
