Important Note: The application is now in "maintenance mode". Only basic support for new Android APIs will be provided from time to time.
I personally don't have the time to do much more on this project. PR are always welcomed, I will always review them. Errors and crash reporting is not present anymore
OpenDNSUpdater is an extremely easy to use android app to perform dynamic IP updates.
OpenDns is a very famous DNS service used by a lot of people, but not everybody knows that they also provide some filtering product for individuals.
This type of service is free and can be very usefull to filter websites such as porn, phishing, malware, and many other category.
The service rely on your external IP to perform filter actions.
As I said on the previous line, the service rely on your external IP address, so when you change access point or start using mobile data, you request will not be filtered.
Updater exist for almost all other platform such as Windows, Mac and Linux, but not for Android or IOS. ( https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227988607-OpenDNS-Compatible-Dynamic-DNS-DDNS-Clients )
