HonkIP

Help / Troubleshooting

My updater says "bad key" or "no such name"

  • badauth (bad key): the key is wrong or was replaced. Copy it again from Setup. Remember it's the update key, not your account password.
  • nohost (no such name): the hostname in your router doesn't match your HonkIP name. Use your full name, like smith.honkip.com.
  • badip: the address sent isn't a public internet address. Leave the address field empty and let HonkIP see it.
  • abuse: the updater is sending too often. Once every five minutes is plenty.

Still stuck? Email support@swearguard.com and tell us your HonkIP name and what you tried.
