How to manually update a dynamic IP address network

OpenDNS supports dynamic IP addresses for network preferences. We suggest running dynamic IP software to automatically keep OpenDNS apprised of your current IP address. But, if you prefer not to run separate software or are unable to, you may sign in to your OpenDNS Dashboard to manually update your network with your current IP address.

Note: you must have enabled dynamic IP updating for the network in question in the OpenDNS Dashboard.

Having done that, a Manual IP Update button (green arrows icon) will appear between two IPs, your previous or registered IP and your current IP. Click on the Manual IP Update button.  All of your network preferences, as well as associated shortcuts, domain blocks and adult web site filtering settings, will be applied to the new IP. Please wait 5-10 minutes for the network settings to propagate to our servers.
