                                Hey, I've always had trouble with dynu groups and synology playing ball. Sometimes it'd work, other times not. But I think I've just found a simple solution, which other's might find useful too.Use this format for the query url:
                            
                            
                        https://api.dynu.com/nic/update?hostname=__HOSTNAME__&username= YourDynuUsername&group=__USERNAME__&myip=__MYIP__&password=PASSWORDI think this works because, while synology only has variables for HOSTNAME, USERNAME, PASSWORD & MYIP, we can still pass other things to dynu by hardcoding them into the query url. So in this case, I'm hardcoding my Dynu Username into the url, and use the USERNAME variable as the 'group name' instead.So once you've set this up, in Synology you only need to enter:HOSNAME = the dynu hostname you're trying to connectUSERNAME = the dynu group that the hostname belongs toPASSWORD = the password for that dynu group.Seems to work so far. Hopefully there's nothing dodgy with it.
