Issue with ddclient contacting updates .opendns.org

Hi,
I use OpenDNS services with the OpenDNS servers on a Rapsberry PI running Raspian OS Buster just updated . I do not have a static IP so I use ddclient as described by OpenDNS. I get the following error: cannot connect to updates.opendns.org:443 socket: hostname verification failed. I ran ddclient standalone in verbose mode and it is the connection to updates.opendns.org that fails. My public ip was properly retrieved. I am not sure how to proceed to get rid of this error. Can you help me?
Best regards,
JF

    Hello,

    Please try updating your router/application to send updates to updates.dnsomatic.com using port 443.

    If that does not resolve the problem please create a support request so we can fully troubleshoot the problem.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Thank you for coming back to me.

    I have ddclient executing as a daemon on my raspberry pi. I query the status of ddclient with the command: sudo systemctl status ddclient

    I get the following error:


    Feb 26 18:42:30 raspberrypi ddclient[1792]: WARNING:   Wait at least 5 minutes between update attempts.
    Feb 26 18:47:30 raspberrypi ddclient[1906]: WARNING:  cannot connect to updates.opendns.org:443 socket: hostname verification failed hostname verifica
    Feb 26 18:47:30 raspberrypi ddclient[1908]: FAILED:   updating homedfw: Could not connect to updates.opendns.org.

    It has been like this for a while. I opened a request already a few days ago for this issue.

    Best regards,

    JF
