Hello Community,
I am making my first steps in learning OpenWRT and Linux and decided to start with setting up Open VPN which in turn requires DDNS service. It seems DDNS works well but I can not find a way to start it automatically every time when the router reboots. For now it always needs to be started manually.
What could be the problem?
Thank you
service ddns enable
ls -l /etc/rc.d/*ddns*
uci show ddns
root@OpenWrt:~# service ddns enable
root@OpenWrt:~# ls -l /etc/rc.d/*ddns*

Connection to 192.168.60.1 closed.
After reboot DDNS stays stopped. Also not sure why I have two entries of ddns in the list above?
what do the logs say?
Thank you for looking into this, Psherman.
No new records in the log after reboot, but if I start the process manually (from web interface), I get the records below. Is it possible to add a startup command somewhere for starting this service?

The log looks fine ("Forced update successful..."). If you log into no-ip's web interface, does it show the correct IP and latest update time?
Check to make sure the general ddns script is enabled in /etc/init.d. The quick way to do this is:
System > Startup > ddns
or
/etc/init.d/ddns enable
Aside form that, I think everything appears to be normal.
reboot
# wait 5 mins
logread -e ddns
I have no idea why, but according to OpenWrt's guide to setting up DDNS clients, in the Operation section, I had to run the commands
. /usr/lib/ddns/dynamic_dns_functions.sh
start_daemon_for_all_ddns_sections "wan"
in order to get my DDNS to work.
Gentlemen, thank you All,
You helped me to understand the system better by pointing to the key elements. The problem was that I did not know some controls and setup it incorrectly. I had Event Network set to Wan while my device is connected to the main router via LAN port. Switching this parameter to Lan fixed the problem
