IPCT Introducing IPCT DDNS! Free DDNS service!

Hello, I am trying to use this on a Peplink Soho router, but I can't figure out what to put in the boxes when I select "other". Here are a couple of photos of the choices and maybe you have an idea what goes in order to use your DDNS service. I tried various things but I must be missing something. Like what goes in "hosts" and "URL" It works on No-IP but I would like to not have to renew each month. Any help is appreciated.

Is IPCT DDNS behind Cloudflare bot protection?
My router is consistently failing at updating it.

No, it's not. I have sent this to my developer though, we are looking into it.

This works. Runs on the same Debian Trixie box that I'm running pi-hole. No issues.

1] use nano and copy code into a file at: /usr/local/sbin/update_ipctddns.sh
2] make it executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/update_ipctddns.sh
3] make a CRON job to run it every 10 minutes:
open crontab: sudo crontab -e
Add this line to crontab: */10 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/update_ipctddns.sh


code below:
#
# ==============================================
# IPCamTalk DDNS update script
# Works with Debian Trixie and Pi-hole setup
# ==============================================

# Config
API_URL="https://ipcamtalk.com/dyn?api=xxxxxxxxxx"
IP_FILE="/tmp/last_ipctddns"
LOG_FILE="/var/log/ipctddns.log"

# Get current public IP
CURRENT_IP=$(curl -s )

if [ -z "$CURRENT_IP" ]; then
echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') ERROR: Could not detect public IP" >> "$LOG_FILE"
exit 1
fi

# Get last IP
LAST_IP=$(cat "$IP_FILE" 2>/dev/null)

# Compare
if [ "$CURRENT_IP" != "$LAST_IP" ]; then
# Update DDNS
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -A "Mozilla/5.0" "$API_URL")
STATUS=$?

if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]; then
echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') Updated DDNS to $CURRENT_IP. Response: $RESPONSE" >> "$LOG_FILE"
# Save current IP

This is Fantastic, thank you so much!

Would you mind adding this as a resource here, please -
I think it would get better exposure and help more people. If not, I can. Thanks again!
