Install ‘curl’ package:

# opkg update
# opkg install curl

Next create a script and call it /root/rc.ddns_opendns.sh :

#/bin/sh

/usr/bin/curl -4 -k -u username:password "https://updates.opendns.com/account/ddns.php?"

Make the script executable:

# chmod +x /root/rc.ddns_opendns.sh

Next create another script and call it /etc/hotplug.d/iface/100-opendns :

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$ACTION" = ifup ]; then
/root/rc.ddns_opendns.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
fi

This will update your IP with OpenDNS whenever you reboot or reconnect.

One of the benefits of using OpenDNS is their web content filter. Login to your account on OpenDNS
and start configuring the content filter for your network. Choose Custom and select the categories
you want the content filter to apply too for your home/office network.

Click Apply and wait for roughly 5 minutes for it to take effect. Your network is now protected.
