Check status ddclient daemon by command:

sudo systemctl status ddclient -l

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>'''

If port forwarding is propertly setup, these warnings will be not showed and this mean all is fine.
