DynSite is a shareware, that is you can try it for free for 30 days then you have to register your copy to obtain a license code (also called a serial number) if you want to keep using it. If you decide not to register you have to uninstall the program (from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs icon.) Add the configuration file, aka the .dnsfile, to the right place. |

Windows |
There is a 60-minute trial version, and a full version for US$9.95. OpenDNS is supported as a built-in option from version 3.2 on. |

Any known clients for android?
teejbee,
Android typically requires root access to change the DNS settings, making it nontrivial to change DNS settings. In addition, some Wireless providers may not allow 3rd-party DNS servers to be used on their network.
There is an app called DNSet for Android which allows you to change the DNS settings, but requires you to purchase the app if you want to use the OpenDNS servers. OpenDNS does not support or advocate this app in any way, I am simply bringing it to your attention.
@teejbee
Are you looking for a Dynamic DNS update client?
There are a few: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Dynamic%20DNS&c=apps
However, think about to not operate it when roaming, else your home network gets the wrong IP address assigned, and even more, you're registering IP addresses you do not own.
