pfSense

Well. I setup new one 2440 with latest 2.4.3 And 2 GW with Active/Passive GW group. Looks like DDNS should work because I see entries in system log. But we have only one external IP one stayed the same after main GW went to down

I was looking forward t0 running 2.4.3 to see if dynamic DNS would finally work.

My latest testing on 2.4.3 is ddns still does NOT work.

I wonder if the issue is:

My gateway group consists of 2 CARP entries, WAN1 carp and WAN2 carp and I wonder wonder wonder if that's why ddns just never updates!

However, as it stands today, 2 pfsense in an HA cluster with multi WAN (WAN1 and WAN2) - on failing WAN1, ddns entry goes RED on the status pages but never actually updates and goes green with the WAN2 carp address.
