I can't find a `dyn_updater' in any of the Debian repos. So tell us:

What /is/ dyn_updater? Where did you get it from? Does it have
documentation? A config file? Perhaps some logs?

Given the name and your description, the thing might update your
dyndns record (not your IP address: your ISP changes this one).
If this guess is correct, it'll depend on an external service.
May be this one is failing?

But that's only guesswork.

Cheers

It is located here: https://help.dyn.com/updater/ It appears to update DNS records. I have never used it but it does come packaged for debian. It also runs on Ubuntu and Windows.
