OpenWrt – DDNS
OpenWrt can use more than one DDNS service compared to a standard router. The setup is really easy.

A DDNS can be set with OpenWrt. However, the DynDNS of the Fritz!Box 7490 is used and then passed on to the downstream devices.
The configuration file is located on the OpenWrt device at /etc/config/ddns.
By default, the necessary packages for DDNS are not installed on OpenWrt. The following packages must therefore be installed:
opkg install ddns-scripts luci-app-ddns luci-i18n-ddns-en luci-i18n-ddns-de uclient-fetch
After you have installed luci-app-dns the menu will be displayed Dienst --> Dynamisches DNS.
Information
The domain name and the DynDNS Ip address should be displayed when the service runs correctly.
The IP address shall be the same as in the AVM router (port forwarding)
Global Settings
In the Global Settings a directory for the log files can be specified. A good option is to store the logs on an external USB storage. For a detailed description how to mount an USB storage device ➡️ OpenWrt - USB Storage Device
mkdir /mnt/sda1/ddns/
Strato - Configuration

DNS requests via TCP not supported
DNS requests via TCP not supported
BusyBox's nslookup and hostip do not support to specify to use TCP instead of default UDP when requesting DNS server!
You should install 'bind-host' or 'knot-host' or 'drill' package for DNS requests.
Fix:
opkg install bind-host
