    Unsure, but see the manual page
    http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/3.0/system/ddns.php

    Whereas this is intended to keep a domain name in sync with your dynamic IP address, perhaps it can be used to keep your IP address in sync with OpenDNS, either directly or via DNS-O-Matic. Not sure if the MicroTik OS will let you use the command this way or not.

    If you can run this in a script, you are probably in business.

    hxxps://username:password@updates.opendns.com/nic/update?hostname=network label
    (replace xx with tt)

    username = your username
    password = your password
    network label = your network label

    I am assuming that is not your actual password, right? (Good. :cool:)

    If you send the same through a browser address bar, does it work?

    What change are you expecting? Has you IP been updated if you check your Dashboard?
    If not, ensure that password and username are entered exactly as you have them in your Dashboard and OpenDNS Updater (capitalization counts).

    Are you using OpenDNS at all? http://welcome.opendns.com

    If the problem is simply that blocking seems not to work, clear your browser cache and local resolver cache. http://www.opendns.com/support/article/209

    If you ISP uses a proxy of some sort, OpenDNS filtering may not work for you.

    If none of my suggestions are of help, you may wish to check back later when others have had a chance to see your post. Realize, also, that your dynamic IP probably does not change all that often, and it would be fine to simply have the Updater start when your PC does. (Many users do not keep their PC running 24 hours a day, and it is not a problem.)

    Best of luck in getting this working to your satisfaction. :smile:

    "good 41.235.12.62"
    This is what must be returned by OpenDNS. This is the confirmation for having updated the IP address in your dashboard.

    Back to the update URL and process:

    1. Your client (e.g. mikrotik 2.9) must support TLS/SSL to update OpenDNS.
    http://www.opendns.com/support/article/83
    http://www.opendns.com/support/article/88
    If it does not, you can go through DNS-O-Matic (http://www.dnsomatic.com/).

    2. Your client must be able to support HTTP Basic Auth. A browser (or Windows Explorer) can derive user ID and password from the URL, but this is not how it works technically or with most other clients. At the server end, the user ID and password must not be part of the URL.

    Sorry, what exactly do you mean by "in DNS", is it your mikrotik?
    But this blocking/redirection works on your mikrotik level and is nothing to do with OpenDNS.

    OpenDNS filtering and blocking can be defined at https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/0/content_filtering
    See here how it works: http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=3635#Item_2
    Don't forget to flush your browser cache and local DNS cache after each settings change.

    Ah, when you send that URL in the browser, you might get a message box with the notice that you are logging in as username, and an "OK" button (depends on browser).
    It works for me, and I only got the message box the first time. Subsequent attempts simply yield "Good" and my current IP address on the page.

    But if you look at your Dashboard, does it show the correct IP address? If so, your address is already in sync, and filtering should work. If filtering does not work, have you cleared browser (PC) and local resolver (PC & MicroTik) caches?

    Sure, browsers and Windows Explorer are clever enough to keep the credentials "in mind" (i.e. memory), until the next browser restart...

    Aye.
    I were just trying to be descriptive, in case kahloudy was getting a modal dialogue box that was not on top for some reason.

    Also, I probably would not have even bothered posting if I'd seen your post first. :^0

    "then?"
    Then you have learned the basics you need to know to write your MikroTik auto script, if not already done anyway. If so, does it work now?

    @khaloudy

    Is filtering working, or no?
    If no, have you cleared browser and local resolver caches?

    last answer from mikrotik is
    mikrotik dosnot support https?
    what that mean?
  6.  permalink
    @ aglan2oo1

    "mikrotik dosnot support https"
    HTTPS is secure HTTP protocol. IP updates are sent to OpenDNS via HTTPS, so if the router does not support this, you will need to run the client software rather than using the router to update, it seems.

    @ khaloudy

    I missed your previous post entirely. I really have no other suggestions to offer, except that what aglan2oo1 mentions might be a problem for you as well.
