Hi Patrick, I don't know if this is relevant to your issue - and I am at
work at the moment without the time to think this through properly so I
apologise if I am wasting bandwidth...

There have been a few bugs relating to ddclient, notably these two [1][2],
which related to the fact that ddclient did not have Native systemd
service file. A fix for this has recently been released. It may be that
your existing configuration has been borked by this update if you did not
notice it going through...

It may be unrelated your problem though and, as you say, it may just be
your router - but perhaps worth a look....

Regards

Mark
