Hi

Im Following the setup for openDNS But I got to number 4 and don’t understand what to remove
#4 Delete current content, paste in:

Thank you

Hi and welcome to the Forum,

Could you link to the steps? new members cannot post links (reduces spammy posts) use a ` in front and after the link like so : https://manjaro.org

Might this be the page you are working from:

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Sync_dynamic_IP_with_openDNS_service_via_ddclient

The step 3 is opening the file with elevated rights, step 4 is removing all the current values and replacing them with the values on the page is my understanding of the steps on the page (don’t use this client)

Which part is unclear, they literally tell you what to do and replace in the note… :woman_shrugging:

  1. Open ddclient.conf file in text editor.

    sudo nano /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf COPY TO CLIPBOARD
    
  2. Delete current content, paste in:

    Note


    REMEMBER - replace values email_address, password with correct values.


    daemon=1800
    syslog=yes
    pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
    ssl=yes
    use=web, web=myip.dnsomatic.com
    server=updates.dnsomatic.com
    protocol=dyndns2
    login=email_address
    password=password
    all.dnsomatic.com

Thank you very much

I had a long day I think I see my problem :slightly_smiling_face: I did not use nano
sorry

I just want to make sure delete every thing in this file? its a big file

You can use ANY text editor that is able to modify files as root :wink:
(I use Kate in KDE)

It’s not my tutorial, so if they say so try so, maybe make a backup of that file first :wink:
