Extra details

I tried searching to see if I was just configuring something incorrectly, but couldn’t find anyone else with this issue. In the case that this is user error, it would be helpful to have a bit more documentation around what exactly needs to be entered in each field to correctly configure DuckDNS.

Thanks in advance for your time and advice!

Update: I was able to resolve this issue by selecting “Remove” to clear existing DDNS settings, and then going through the configuration process again.

I’m not sure exactly what the issue was with my config before, but hopefully knowing that will be helpful for anyone in the future that runs into this error
