Dynamic IP address update frequency

OpenDNS recommends that you use our client-side software to keep your dynamic IP updated for your network. The OpenDNS Updater will run in your system tray and send updates to your account whenever your IP address changes. This will help ensure that your system preferences are applied to your network at all times. Simply download the software, enter your OpenDNS username, password and network label in the required fields, and the OpenDNS Updater will do the rest.

Windows: Download Windows Client

Mac : Download Mac Client


 

 Your dynamic IP update client should handle updates automatically, monitoring your connection and updating if/when necessary.

Alternatively, follow instructions for manually updating your dynamic IP address network.

If your preferences are not being followed and you are still using OpenDNS (confirm), then check to see if your IP address matches your OpenDNS network.
