Well... there is no man page. A lot of the back-end options specific to Gargoyle aren't particularly well documented, because I'd rather spend time focusing on the front end interface. I'm happy to answer specific questions though.
However, I don't think changing those options will help. I really doubt it's a problem with a port not being open, since dyndns updates are done via https, over port 443. I would be very surprised if your upstream router was blocking https connections.
Three things to check:
(1)Does your password use any non-standard characters, e.g. quote characters? It could be these aren't getting saved/loaded properly.
(2) What's your update frequency set to? If you update too many times in a short period of time they will block you.
(3) On the other hand, when was the last time you did do an update? If you don't do an update at least once every 30 days, and you have a free account, they delete your account.
One other thing to try is to run the same command as before, but add the -v flag, which gives more verbose output. I've just used this for debugging, so it isn't documented anywhere.
Code: Select all
ddns_gargoyle -v -h -C /etc/ddns_gargoyle.conf -P /etc/ddns_providers.conf
