I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly how can I update my A records on my cloudflare account. I have already set up a script that checks for IP changes, and pushes the changes through the CloudFlare API. The problem comes where, because I'm using the
up /usr/local/bin/script
directive, the script gets called when the TUN/TAP device is set up. (So I still have no IP change). I need it to run after the tunnel has been successfully applied.
I've tried using up-delay
directive, and pinging (because it's an UDP server). But this doesn't seem to work either. It looks like this:
script-security 2
ping 10
ping-restart 60
up-delay /usr/local/bin/script
down /usr/local/bin/script
I've also tried setting a sleep 30 command inside the script itself, to be able to launch it with the up
command, problem being, if I do this, OpenVPN waits for the script to complete before continuing the connection process (so the process pauses for 30 seconds, in which the OpenVPN connection process is also paused, therefore making it just 30 seconds longer).
Any ideas? Maybe the server doesn't reply to ping requests? I'm 100% lost here.
