I have just gotten openwrt to work with the Name Cheap protocol. Since it was tricky for me, I thought I would leave a note here to tell how I did it.
The domain I want to point to my home computer is
owlnest.blackpatchpanel.com
blackpatchpanel.com is my domain with NameCheap.
owlnest is domain with the "A" record that I want dynamic
dns to modify to point home.
Given this, here is my /etc/config/ddns file:
---start here--
config service 'myddns'
option interface 'wan'
option force_interval '72'
option force_unit 'hours'
option check_interval '10'
option check_unit 'minutes'
option retry_interval '60'
option retry_unit 'seconds'
option service_name 'namecheap.com'
option domain 'blackpatchpanel.com'
option password 'CENSOREDincorrectXXXX'
option ip_source 'network'
option ip_network 'wan'
option enabled '1'
option username 'owlnest'
---end
note that the "username" field must be the bare "A" record
domain without it's post fix.
"domain" is the domain at NameCheap that controls the "username"
domain.
This took me a while to figure out.
Best Wishes to all.
