SmartDNS refresh app
Is ithere any app that would refresh your WAN IP with SmartDNS providers like Getflix or SmartDNS? Right now I have to update it using the smartphone app every day or two but would be great if this was built into the router and refreshed every hour or so.

Typically, I've seen DDNS updating options available within your account settings page of your VPN provider (or other online service). For network settings targeting the WAN, you'd put the hostname listed in Firewalla's DDNS settings page.
Another option that could be provided by your service provider is a custom URL that would be visited to trigger the update to the WAN IP. This could also be scripted out to visit the link in the event your IP changes. Look at: https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054056754-Customized-Scripting-
Create a shell script to use curl to call that custom URL:
#!/bin/bash
curl "<ddns_link_for_updating>"Not sure if this helps any.
