Orbi, OpenVPN and DynamicDNS
I recently purchased an Orbi kit and having OpenVPN on the router is handy (this was on my old router too, so keeping it on there makes it simpler), however... I have own custom Dynamic DNS confi...
Exact same problem here. I already have an account with Dyn.com, and the updater is running on one of my computers already. (And the updater for Dyn.com isn't working, as somebody else has already noted in this forum.)
The wording of the popup dialog when enabling OpenVPN makes it sound like it's just a reminder ("please make sure you will do this"), but apparently that's just a poorly phrased error message.
Can the firmware be fixed, or do we need to just replace this with some wwdrt variant when it comes out if we want openvpn support?
Hey there! I wrote that original post about Dyn.com registration being broken. Thank you for the reference. I'm going to take the opportunity to bump this since it's really annoying to not have the dyn updater working!
This is a know issue which we have fixed in the next official release which we plan to release soon

That's great to hear! A clarification:
Are you talking about (1) the Dyn.com updater not working, or (2) the OpenVPN not being able to be enabled without also using one of the (excessively-feature-restricted) builtin DNS updaters, or (3) both?
Really, fixing (2) would be the most awesome thing, but (1) would at least help in the cases where only a single domain requires management.
In any case, thank you for keeping us in the loop!
