Using DynDNS with Smart Hub 2, cannot connect

[wiganr]

I have a Smart Hub 2 and cannot get DynDNS to connect, reports as “user name or password incorrect”. I can get NoIP to work though.

Now I want to use DynDNS to update any change of IP address, because it is continuous not as NoIP which requires updating every 28 days. I have entered the user name and password as shown on my DynDNS account both manually and using copy/paste. I have checked the firmware and I think this is up to date.

Has anyone managed to use DynDNS?

It does sound like you're using the wrong credentials to connect, can you logon to the website from a browser with the same credentials

I think you will find that DynDNS now requires HTTPS  (secure) login, that the home hub does not support. Not sure about No-IP, but the paid version of No-IP does not require you to login every 28 days to keep the account active.

There are other similar posts on this forum.

Yes I can login to the site via a web page and use the update in there.

Will contact DynDNS to see if HTTPS is required as per your reply. Fully aware that NoIP have a paid version.
