I've recently obtained and started using a BananaPi-R3.
Transferring over existing functioning DDNS scripts has not proved successful.
Scripts that ran successfully on ddns-scripts v2.8.2-43 , OpenWrt 23.05.5 on a BT HomeHub are not operating on the BananaPi with OpenWrt 24.10.1 and ddns-scripts v2.8.2-r64.
DDNS Logs report
135845 info : Update successful - IP 'xx.xx.xx.xx' send
135845 info : Forced update successful - IP: 'xx.xx.xx.xx' send
System log reports "Updating IP at DDNS provider failed"
Checking the DNS the IP is not updated. Any ideas what might be occuring? Its happening using scripts for all my DDNS scripts across multiple providers (Hetzner, No-Ip.com etc.)
Please show the recent DDNS client log (example1 example2). Format it using </> button.
An example of one is

Incomplete, please see the examples.
Hi. Sorry I got interrupted. - Hopefully this is more comprehensive

It appears to be an external script obtained from outside the OpenWrt repository.
We can check what's going on with no-ip.com if you wish.
