I am experiencing problems with the OpenDNS Updater.
The most recent section of the log.txt shows the following:
-------- starting
sent ip update for user 'redacted-for-privacy@outlook.com', response: 'nohost' url: /nic/update?token=redacted-for-privacy&v=2&hostname=redacted-for-privacy host: updates.opendns.com
CheckForSoftwareUpgrade()
The OpenDNS Dashboard shows a different/incorrect IP address for the network/label/hostname, so it is clear that the IP address has not been updated, and therefore filtering won't work.
The file settings.dat contains the following data:
{
"user_name": "redacted-for-privacy@outlook.com",
"unique_id": "redacted-for-privacy",
"token": "redacted-for-privacy",
"hostname": "redacted-for-privacy",
"network_id": "redacted-for-privacy",
"user_networks_state": "unsok",
"run_hidden": "1",
"disable_nagging": "1",
"dns_o_matic": "1"
}
...where the email address and hostname match those found in the log.txt file.
Online, I found that IP can be updated manually using the URL https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update?hostname=NetworkLabel, but this is incomplete information, as I am getting a "badauth" response.
I hope there is some command I can run remotely from PowerShell on the machine to force OpenDNS to update the IP address for the used hostname.
Could you please provide me with a PowerShell command or similar type of code to update the network IP manually?
Thanks.
