Im using freedns to try to do a vpn server with dynamic dns, when I
run Sudo systemctl status ddclient it’s supposed to update the ip on
the second photo to my current ip, but it doesn’t seem to be working.
Link to tutorial I’m using below

Looks like you're missing the actual part of the config that does the
check of the current IP address to use for updating:

    ## To obtain an IP address from FW status page (using fw-login,
fw-password)
#use=fw, fw=192.168.1.254/status.htm, fw-skip='IP Address' # found
after IP Address
#
## To obtain an IP address from Web status page (using the proxy if
defined)
## by default, checkip.dyndns.org is used if you use the dyndns
protocol.
## Using use=web is enough to get it working.
## WARNING: set deamon at least to 600 seconds if you use checkip or
you could
## get banned from their service.
#use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address' # found after
IP Address
#
#use=ip,                     ip=127.0.0.1       # via static IP's
#use=if,                     if=eth0            # via interfaces
#use=web                                        # via web
#
#protocol=dyndns2                               # default protocol
#proxy=fasthttp.sympatico.ca:80                 # default proxy
#server=members.dyndns.org                      # default server
#server=members.dyndns.org:8245                 # default server
(bypassing proxies)

#login=your-login                               # default login
#password=test                                  # default password
#mx=mx.for.your.host                            # default MX
#backupmx=yes|no                                # host is primary MX?
#wildcard=yes|no                                # add wildcard CNAME?
