Duck DNS - Invalid IP but it is not?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
#1

Hello everybody,

I try to set up duck dns with LEDE. Unfortunately when starting the updater the script says that he received a invalid IP "No or private or invalid IP '100.97.135.xx' given! Please check your configuration"
However this is the true IP. Anybody has any idea how to convince it to accept this IP?

Log:

I know that my ISP doing some strange things. Because if I check my IP with some web pages it always shows a different IP. But I can confirm that this 100.xxxx IP address is the right one. My ISP is AIS in Thailand (fiber)

Thanks for every help I can get.

Turn off rebind protection. That is a carrier-grade NAT IP address. It was correct in saying it's a private IP.

If you are trying to see your public IP, it is not within 100.64.0.0/10...as that is private.

Yep... carrier-grade NAT. Your ISP doesn't issue you an IPv4 address.

Thank you for pointing me into the right direction.

However I still facing the issue even I disabled rebind_protection in /etc/config/dhcp:

config dnsmasq
        option domainneeded '1'
        option boguspriv '1'
        option localise_queries '1'
        option rebind_protection '0'
        option rebind_localhost '1'
        option local '/lan/'
        option domain 'lan'
        option expandhosts '1'
        option authoritative '1'
        option readethers '1'
        option leasefile '/tmp/dhcp.leases'
        option resolvfile '/tmp/resolv.conf.auto'
        option localservice '1'
        option nonwildcard '0'

I also tried option rebind_localhost '0' but no difference.
Anyone can help?

Thank you,
Andy

My option does not have underscores (4) in the URL.

option update_url 'http://www.duckdns.org/update?domains=[USERNAME]&token=[PASSWORD]&ip=[IP]'

I apologize if I wasn't clear...but @gaunt STILL HAS ANOTHER PROBLEM, CARRIER-GRADE NAT!!!

Unless your ISP performs port forwarding through their carrier-grade NAT system, a DDNS script cannot be used for INBOUND ACCESS TO YOUR DEVICE!

The IP in the A record will not be unique to the OP's WAN interface.

From: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

It makes it impossible to host services.

Lastly,

OP explained this:

Thank you very much for your explanation. I was so sure before because I tested my "external IP" with port forwarding and it was working. However I used the same provider not my mobile phone.

I will call them and ask for a public one.

Thank you!
