ddclient doesn't want to update using tun interfaces or web

If I specify an ethernet interface, all works as can be seen from below.

Code:

I have tried the latest version and checked out the svn bleeding edge! Anyone have an idea as to what is causing this issue? I will be testing this on a vm again just to exclude the host I'm having issues with.
 
Solved

Ok I can't even recall my previous post , let alone why it got deleted...

[ nothing was deleted, two posts were merged into one - Mod. ]

But for anyone experiencing the ddclient issue, I finally solved it by rebooting the box. Doesn't make sense, but I had to reboot for another reason and ddclient just started working!


Odd!
