Description
Upgrade pfSense to 25.07 and my Dynamic DNS clients now fail with the following error.
```
/services_dyndns_edit.php: Dynamic DNS (host.domain.tld) There was an error trying to determine the public IP for interface - wan (ix2 ).
```
I have multiple clients setup to update Route 53 records and all of them have stopped with the above error.
Please let me know what information I can gather to help troubleshoot this issue. Thanks

This is most likely from the gateway being offline, which is known and not a bug. You can fix the gateway monitoring so it's online and it will work (e.g. change the monitor IP address, let the gw respond to pings, or disable monitoring). There are other forum threads about this, see https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198125/dynamic-dns-ddns-fails-to-obtain-public-ip/43
Yeah Jim, normally I would spin up a VM and validate it's a bug with a fresh install but I only have one license for Netgate/pfSense 25.07.
I have validated that the Gateway is online, also tried bumping it to offline and back online again and that didn't resolve the issue. Additionally, I booted back into the 24.03 Boot Environment and that immediately did fix the issue.
Is there detailed logs I can pull for the Dynamic DNS client that would help?
Thanks again for the responses!
