About OpenDNS Updater
OpenDNS Updater updates the public IP address associated with a user’s OpenDNS service. The service’s filtering depends on recognizing the current external IP address; when a home connection changes or a device switches networks, the address may no longer match the account’s registered network. The app sends an update so filtering can continue to apply to the current connection. This is a dynamic DNS-style update utility, not a website blocker that independently filters content on the phone. The described filtering is provided by the associated DNS service, which can apply categories such as adult content, phishing, or malware when a request comes from the registered public address. OpenDNS Updater is useful for Android users who rely on that external filtering service and need to refresh its address after network changes. The service itself and its account configuration are required; the updater’s role is to report the current external address. Because the service uses the external IP for its filtering, behavior can change when the phone moves to mobile data or another Wi-Fi network. The app is open-source, according to the supplied description.
