I'm using ddclient 3.8.1 on ubuntu 14.04 to update my dns records on namecheap.com. But now it stopped working. Syslog says: 

WARNING:  file /tmp/ddclient.cache, line 3: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = ''

And when I run ddclient -query I get

use=web, web=http://whatismyipaddress.com/ address is NOT FOUND

My /etc/ddclient.conf is:

daemon=300
cache=/tmp/ddclient.cache
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
ssl=yes
syslog=yes
use=web, web=http://whatismyipaddress.com/, web-skip='Your IP address is'              

protocol=namecheap
server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com
login=foo.bar
password='password'
my.foo.bar

I've tried to access http://whatismyipaddress.com and it is working just fine.

    It's disappointing that a bunch of folks voted this as off-topic with respect to professional sys admin. It's entirely relevant. – James T Snell Apr 23 '17 at 02:38

It seems whatismyipaddress.com is blocking scripts. You can try to use another IP-address lookup site. Change your ddclient.conf to contain:

use=web, web=http://ipinfo.io, web-skip='ip": "'

Should provide your public IP to ddclient.
