Introduction

This is a short script to help you update your ip address on OpenDNS settings website. There used to be (official?) perl script that was supposed to do it but:

1. I can't seem to find it anymore and OpenDNS site only mentions Windows and Mac solutions for dynamic IPs
2. I couldn't never get it to work

What this script does is it runs headless chrome browser that logs into your opendns account and clicks 'synch ip' button for you.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/dkns/opendns-updater
cd opendns-updater
npm i

Configuration

cp .env.example .env

Then edit .env file and put in there your password and login for OpenDNS website.

After that type node index.js and you should see it doing its job.

Additional configuration

If you want to automatically update your IP edit cron and put there something like this:

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/node $HOME/myprojects/opendns-updater/index.js

@reboot /usr/bin/node $HOME/myprojects/opendns-updater/index.js
