FreeDNS on pfSense

July 3, 2013

Once you signed up for a FreeDNS account.  You’ll need to configure it on pfSense.  Its a bit weird.

 

In pfSense, go to Services and DynDns.

In there, choose FreeDNS.

Only fields you need to input in are “HOSTNAME” and “Password”

Hostname = you.domain.com

Password =   This is the “direct url” in your account in FreeDNS.  In your FreeDNS account, over to the left click DynamicDNS, then down near the bottom where you see your ddns name, click Direct URL.  It will give you a blank page, in the URL there is a long string after the ? in the URL.

For example http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?dfgdsgfsdjk689GYUIFdfg==
this is what you want to paste in the password field in pf: dfgdsgfsdjk689GYUIFdfg

Then click save.  Should be good.
