Test ddclient:
sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -noquiet -debug -verbose -force
New configuration that seems to work better:
Update OpendNDS and ZoneEdit every 10 minutes
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf
file=/etc/ddclient.conf
syslog=1
debug=1

================================================================
Change the /etc/default/ddclient to update the time frequency to check:
# Configuration for ddclient scripts
# generated from debconf on Tue 11 Jun 15:05:46 AEST 2019
#
# /etc/default/ddclient
# Set to “true” if ddclient should be run every time DHCP client (‘dhclient’
# from package isc-dhcp-client) updates the systems IP address.
run_dhclient=”false”
# Set to “true” if ddclient should be run every time a new ppp connection is
# established. This might be useful, if you are using dial-on-demand.
run_ipup=”false”
# Set to “true” if ddclient should run in daemon mode
# If this is changed to true, run_ipup and run_dhclient must be set to false.
run_daemon=”true”
# Set the time interval between the updates of the dynamic DNS name in seconds.
# This option only takes effect if the ddclient runs in daemon mode.
#600 seconds
daemon_interval=”600″
===================================================================
Find the folowing string in the /etc/init.d/ddclient and comment out:
sudo cat /etc/init.d/ddclient | grep interval
###daemon_interval=300
