The ddclient daemon need opened incoming connections for ports '''53''', '''443''' and '''80'''. If you using a firewall software and router device You need in the settings to allow connections to these ports, otherwise ddclient daemon can't working propertly and sending IP to openDNS servers failed with errors (check status ddclient daemon by command: <code>sudo systemctl status ddclient -l</code>):

Looking for similar warnings:
 
'''<code> ddclient[8999]: WARNING:  cannot connect to myip.dnsomatic.com:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'myip.dnsomatic.com' </code>'''
'''<code> ddclient[8999]: WARNING:  cannot connect to myip.dnsomatic.com:80 socket: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'myip.dnsomatic.com' </code>'''
If port forwarding is propertly setup, these warnings will be not showed and this mean all is fine.
