• Omada DDNS service Parameters - FreeDNS

  • If you want to update domain, then use: @
  • If you want to update subdomain, then enter subdomain, as example mysubdomain

All supported update styles	description from FreeDNS
Username and Password, inline	Username and password as URI arguments, rather then the HTTP authentication
Username and Password	Uses HTTP authentication, if you'd rather use a username/password, some routers like to implement this method or can be most easily adapted to this method
/nic/update	Uses HTTP authentication, I've seen update attempts like these hitting the server.
Randomized Update Token	Default option, simple, secure, my personal favorite. But it can not be used for now with omada easily without complex workarounds/scripts.

• Freedns offers two interfaces. Version 1 is older and uses freedns.afraid.org domain. Version 2 interface is current latest and uses shorter domain sync.afraid.org. You can use both versions in Omada.

  • Interface v1: https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/
