Lately users have started using pfSense to use as a firewall for their home connections. When I set this up one of the issues I had was with configuring the dynamic DNS settings. Previously I used NO-IP.com for this but then I decided to use one of my custom domains registered at Google Domains to configure this piece.
\nHere’s what I did to get this setup:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Part I: On Google Domains<\/h3>\n

<\/strong>
\n-Go to the configure DNS section
\n-Scroll down to the section for Synthetic Records
\n-Make sure “Dynamic DNS” is selected as the record type
\n-Type in a new name for your record (which gets appended to your domain). E.g. MyNewRec.tofi.me<\/p>\n

\"Goog1\"<\/p>\n

-Click on Add and it creates the name space for the record
\n-Expand the Dynamic DNS section and click on click on “View Credentials”
\n-Mark down the Username and Password that’s listed there and we’re done with Google Domains site<\/p>\n

\"Goog2\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Part II: pfSense Configuration<\/h3>\n

<\/strong>
\n-Login to your pfSense firewall
\n-Click on Services \\ Dynamic DNS
\n-in the DynDNS tab click the + sign
\n-Service type = Custom
\n-Interface to monitor = WAN
\n-Interface to send update from = WAN
\n-Username = USERNAME (From Part I)
\n-Password = PASSWORD (From Part I)
\n-Update URL: https:\/\/domains.google.com\/nic\/update?hostname=MyNewRec.tofi.me
\n-Result Match: good %IP%|nochg %IP%
\n-Description: GoogDynDNS
\n-Click on Save<\/p>\n

\"Goog3\"<\/p>\n

Once the settings are saved you are done. Now if you check on the Google Domains section for Dynamic DNS, and expand your Dynamic DNS you created in Part I you would see your IP address listed out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
