Hi,
I've been using OPENDNS and Linux IP UPDATER without issue until recently (AFAIK). I changed my password a few weeks ago and last week I realized the IP address wasn't changing. In troubleshooting, I realized I neglected to also change my password in /etc/ddclient.conf, so I updated it with the new password. After changing the password in the .conf file, I'm not sure that the updater or ddclient is working correctly. So I'd like help please.
I've set up following this article:
https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227987727-Linux-IP-Updater-for-Dynamic-Networks

## OpenDNS.com account-configuration

protocol=dyndns2
use=web, web=myip.dnsomatic.com
ssl=yes
server=updates.opendns.com
login=opendns_username

opendns_network_label
From the CLI,
$ sudo service ddclient status

Does dyndns2 need to be changed to something else?
Thanks,
