Hi, I set up the DDNS service in my OpenWRT router yesterday using the LUCI interface and purchased a domain from namecheap.com, which uses DDNS. I followed the settings I understood, but the domain keeps reaching the incorrect IP address. Here’s the configuration snapshot (ignore the left part with Google Domains): My DDNS provider is linked to "Namecheap.com", my hostname is "andrade.network" (my domain), the username matches my Namecheap account ("bruny06"), and the password is the one Namecheap gives for DDNS in their advanced DNS settings. Despite restarting the service several times—including the router—it still doesn’t work and continues to ping another address. Any suggestions? Have others installed DDNS with Namecheap before and encountered similar issues? Thanks, Bruno.

Is your connection inside or outside your network? Also, review the OpenWRT logs for any DDNS-related errors.

I tested it both within and outside my network. I'll review the logs.
