If you like to use a secure address, why not use: Didn't think that was the way to do it since none of the example templates I found included the http:// or https:// in the server= directive. I thought the ssl=yes told it to use https instead of http. But if it seems to work for you, I'll try it. Better to have the belt and suspenders in this case.

You might be very right. I referred to a help page at No-IP that mostly talked about the "The HTTP Request" method. I will remove the https:// from my server settings. And for DynDNS.org http://dyn.com/support/clients/linux/ddclient/ they state that they support ssl=yes.

Actually DynDNS.org has alwasy worked for me, no matter how the settings are written. I think that DynDNS.org are more service minded and forgiving. I guess they have to be that, being so big, they just can't handle to much user support. It seems like they in the receiving end has done a lot of program adjustments to fix user made syntax faults. Like the skip= thing, they know that very many users uses their IP-check and that they from the beginning had that stupid leading text "Current IP Address: " and that many probably will not use skip. So they take care of that, almost like well made web forms that remove leading and trailing spaces etc.

But No-IP is a totally different game. It seems like the settings gotta be perfect, in order to work.

I also wait for my next IP update. Infact both my services points to the same server :) I just wanted to have redundancy. But No-IP has given me much more work than expected.

Here are most of the settings explained in a good way:

If the mess continuous with No-IP, then I will try some other like opendns.com.
