Configuring a Ubiquiti EdgeMax home router to use OpenDNS?
Has anyone setup an EdgeMax router to use OpenDNS? I see there are Add Service options in the OS for other providers but OpenDNS is not one of them. There is an option to setup Custom but its asking for the URL and not sure what URL I would use for dynamic dns checks for OpenDNS. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Your best bet is to ask the details in a support forum for your router.
The update URLs you can use to update OpenDNS:
- If your router can support HTTPS updates: https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update?hostname=YOURNETWORKLABEL
- If your router supports just HTTP updates: http://updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=all.dnsomatic.com
You must configure the OpenDNS service at DNS-O-Matic (https://www.dnsomatic.com/) before.
For the "dynamic DNS checks" (i.e. to check for IP address changes, use http://myip.dnsomatic.com/ or raise a DNS lookup for myip.opendns.com.
