Freenom web works bad sometimes
for everyone else who had issues with this script (for whatever reason, the freenom website is spotty at the ebst of times), you can also use a third party service instead of adjusting the dns in the freenom website specifically with a cname record. i used duckdns.org which looked like this in freenom;
SUBDOMAIN - CNAME - 14440 - subdomain.duckdns.org
and then pointing my update service to the duckdns website. doing it this way allows you to change the freenome dns once, while you can update the actual ip address how often you want using the third party dns service.
Mmmmm... I'm testing it with my two domains on freenom.
I'm not sure that 14400 for TTL value is a good idea. I've set 300 for this value, so the update of address of *.duckdns.org will do every 5 minutes and not every 4 hours.
On freenom I had also set the main address of the domain, i.e. the one without host name and with only the domain name (so you could write "ping domain.tk" or http://domain.tk, or get an HTTPS certificate issued for the domain domani.tk).
With this change of yours, that line in the freenom config is lost, because you need to use a numeric address to configure it.
So the https certificate doesn't work either. So the https certificate for the domains doesn't work either.
Thank you, anyway.

Hi, thanks for your work!
However, I tried the script and got an error in the updateResult: There was an error in the request. Please try again in a minute.
Any idea?
