Hi,

I'm running into a weird behavior on pfsense. The script can't update the TXT entry on the Hurricane Electric DNS.
From the logs, it looks to me as if the script uses the URL "https://dns.he.net" and that seems to fail.

To confirm, I tried this:

curl "https://dns.he.net/nic/update" -d "hostname=_acme-challenge.rolis.dnsswitzerland.ch" -d "password=something" -d "txt=test"

This failed just like on pfsense. With the URL "https://dyn.dns.he.net/" however, it works:

curl "https://dyn.dns.he.net/nic/update" -d "hostname=_acme-challenge.rolis.dnsswitzerland.ch" -d "password=something" -d "txt=test"

Did something change on the he.net server side?

Did something change on the he.net server side?

Note that this issue is about the dynamic DNS = dyn.dns.he.net (= using the record-specific auth key).

There is a separate (older) plugin for the full HE DNS (= dns.he.net), requiring using the full HE DNS credentials.

Oh... 🫢 sorry...
Indeed, I mixed up the plugins.
Looking closer at your plugin, I think you are probably fixing the issue I encounter. ;-)
Thank you.
