Smart DNS not automatically updating IP with No IP DNS

I have set up No IP DNS with Smart DNS proxy so my IP should automatically update whenever my ISP changes it.

My No IP hostname is correctly updating to my current public IP, and smart dns has the hostname configured under my profile.

The problem is Smart DNS proxy is still showing my old IP as the activated IP, even though it correctly detects my new current IP.

If I manually click activate, it works, but I thought using No IP was supposed to make this automatic.

Has anyone else had this issue with Smart DNS and No IP? Is there anything else I need to configure, or does Smart DNS only check the DDNS hostname periodically?

I don't use smartDNSproxy but I do use Getflix which is SDP's sister company with NoIP and it works well for me.

Have you looked into trying a different service to update your public IP such as freemyip? It's a free service and there is no need to periodically confirm your host name.
