Hello all, i have a dyndns account and i' m trying to configure my fortigate 60 to update the host ip address automatically but it is not working. The Fortigate is connected to a cable modem and gets the wan1 ip address through dhcp. Is there some way to diagnose the problem? Thank you PM

    On the network tab, select the WAN1 interface In the drop down, choose the DYNDNS provider for the domain, use the name you have chosen, from your custom host name all the way through to the TLD. Enter the user name and password that you use to log in. That should be all. TLD = Top Level Domain: .com, .org, etc.

    You could try sniff the communicatio between wan interface and members.dyndns.org usually they use port 80, but they can use another ones too. members.dyndns.org resolves to 63.208.196.96 cli command: 
      diagnose sniffer packet any " host 63.208.196.96"
    (turn off and on " DDNS" box in WAN iface configuration to generate some traffic)
