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.
