Description

After activating Dynamic DNS for Digital Ocean, I see this in the logs:

I got this same message.

The information inside pfsense is bad. "Cloudflare and DigitalOcean: Enter @ as the hostname to indicate an empty field." is incorrect. Hostname must not be the AT symbol. (Cannot type character on phone for some odd reason)

In the hostname field you need to type the A record ID that you can get using the curl command below. You MUST replace the MY_API_KEY with your API key and MYDOMAIN.com with your domain. It'll return with all your dns records and the IDs associated. In the Domain Name field you type your domain name.

curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer MY_API_KEY' "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/MYDOMAIN.com/records"

I figured this out by checking out lines 1014-1047 in https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/5ae31b9e979b28fd4fa3087301dc81298147d905/src/etc/inc/dyndns.class and looking at how the API request was done. I also looked up the DigitalOcean API docs to see what was required in the request.

Not a service we can test internally, and no response from OP or other consumers of the service in question, so closing. Can revisit in a new issue if there are problems with the change.
