I highly recommend using ssl.

My ddclient.conf:

# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf
daemon=3600 <== =========== I don't find it necessary to update so often
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
ssl=yes <======================== add this line
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address'
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org
login=myusername
password='mypassword'
my.domain.name

[Secure Updates
Since 3.7.0, ddclient support ssl updates. To use ssl, put “ssl=yes” in
your configuration and make sure you have IO::Socket::SSL.]

Note: you can also use the online config tool:
