Diagram.
From GUI, go to Network -> DNS -> enable FortiGuard DDNS, select the interface with the dynamic connection, select the server that is linked to the account, and enter 'Unique Location'.
From CLI:
config system ddns edit 101 set ddns-server FortiGuardDDNS set ddns-domain "fgtbacoor.fortiddns.com" set use-public-ip enable set monitor-interface "wan1" next end
Try to NSLOOKUP the fgtbacoor.fortiddns.com and it will be resolved to whatever public IP the FortiGate getting translated into.
Note: DDNS can only be configured via CLI for FortiGate VMs. Configuring DDNS via GUI is not supported for FortiGate-1000 series or higher or FortiGate-VM. Configuring DDNS via GUI is not supported when the configured DNS server is not using FortiGuard Servers. FortiGate does not support DDNS when in transparent mode
