Regarding the feature request, I'll see if I can make do with an earlyshellcmd in my config files to disable that again upon each upgrade. If it starts bothering me too much, or if I get around to it, I'll look through the bugtracker and file a feature request if there isn't one already. Again, thanks for your help and your professional, helpful attitude in your replies. :-) -Stefan ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

I am not sure that’s how Dyn works? As far as I understand it Dyn gets a request and it looks at the originating IP address, then makes the change.

Re: [pfSense] How to Enable/Disable DynDNS update e-mail notifiations?
What I am saying it Dyn is the one that controls if it is updated or not. You need to either write a custom PHP or bash script to do this - this function does not exist in the system happens today.
