About:
OpenDNS Updater is a lightweight client that automatically updates your dynamic IP address with OpenDNS services. It ensures your network's DNS filtering and security policies remain active even when your public IP changes. This tool is essential for maintaining consistent web protection and content filtering on your network.

Key Features:

Automatic IP detection and updating
Runs silently in the background as a menu bar utility
Supports multiple OpenDNS network configurations
Simple, lightweight, and low system resource usage

Use Cases:

Home networks using OpenDNS for content filtering and security
Small businesses requiring consistent DNS-based threat protection
Remote workers needing to maintain corporate DNS policies

Alternatives:

ddclient – More complex, supports multiple DNS providers but requires manual configuration
Cloudflare DDNS – Cloudflare's native solution, better for their ecosystem but not compatible with OpenDNS
