can't get my current IP address

Hi,

I needed a tool to update cloudflare DNS using windows 10, and found your tool by chance, I filed out the configuration file, but it seems when running ddnsupdate.exe, that it is not able to detect my external IP.

here is the log extract:
:\Program Files_NETWORK TOOLS\Ddnsupdate>ddnsupdate
[18:46:49 INF] PRODUCTION environment detected
[18:46:49 INF] Starting DdnsUpdate.NET by PaulTechGuy, v0.1.0
[18:46:49 INF] Press Ctrl-C to cancel

[18:46:49 INF] IP address updates will not push email notifications

[18:46:49 INF] Checking for initial IP address: none found
[18:46:49 WRN] #1: Unable to determine external IP address or cancellation requested

I tried to change the order of the web sites in appsettings.json and putting one that works on the top of the list, and setting randomizeIpAddressProviderSelecion to false, but it did not make any change.

ok seem it was a firewall issue so the tool is working as expected,
but I can't figure out how to update multiple dns entries in one shot

If you want to update multiple domains at once, this is explained on the github readme page at: paultechguy/DdnsUpdate.NET: Cloudflare DDNS auto-updater. Highly customizable with email notifications. Run as Windows Service or Linux Daemon. <https://github.com/paultechguy/DdnsUpdate.NET> Your configuration file has the "domains" property. This is an array so you would add additoinal elements for your other domains. See " mycompany2.com" below with the settings from Cloudflare for the other domain(s). "domains": [ { "isEnabled": true, "name": "mycompany.com", "recordId": "{recordId}", // optionally leave blank and use domain defaults "zoneId": "{zoneId}", "recordType": "A", "authorizationKey": "{authKey}", "authorizationEmail": "{authEmail}" }, * {* * "isEnabled": true,* * "name": "mycompany2.com <http://mycompany2.com>",* * "recordId": "{recordId}",* * // optionally leave blank and use domain defaults* * "zoneId": "{zoneId}",* * "recordType": "A",* * "authorizationKey": "{authKey}",* * "authorizationEmail": "{authEmail}"* * }* ]
