Description:
OpenDNS Updater is useful if you have a dynamic IP address. It detects changes to your IP address and notifies OpenDNS service about the change so that your OpenDNS settings continue to be applied to your network.
Most home networks have dynamic IP addresses. By enabling this option to Enable Dynamic IP Updates, you allow your network to be able to have its IP address changed when your IP address changes. You must still use some software to push the change to OpenDNS however. Please consider downloading our Dynamic IP Updater below.
Many people get a dynamic Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to them by their ISP or network operator. The alternative is a static IP address. If you're not sure which one you have, you likely have a dynamic IP address but contact your ISP to be sure.
It is difficult for public Internet resources to know how to find a webserver or mailserver or other Internet-addressable resource located at a dynamic IP address. DDNS provides a workaround, giving an individual a method of registering their current IP address with a third-party service on the web so they are publicly accessible and addressable, even as their IP address changes over time.
The below information still holds true, but DNS-O-Matic, a free service from OpenDNS, gives you an easy way to distribute your dynamic IP changes to multiple services with a single update. Keep dynamic DNS hostnames and OpenDNS updated at the same time.
OpenDNS accounts work with dynamic IP addresses through Dynamic DNS (DDNS), if you use a DDNS software client.
When using OpenDNS, the purpose of dynamic DNS is to preserve your OpenDNS preferences if your ISP or network operator changes your IP address. The software client keeps your IP up to date with OpenDNS automatically.
DNS Request Types that can be collected and listed in an OpenDNS report - A, AAAA, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT
