New Category - Dynamic

It would be nice to have a category to block dynamic DNS zones.  Most websites hosted on a home PC do not have a business value and can easily be blocked.  I do know OpenDNS does try to monitor these closely, and trying to find that line.  But for those of us that jsut don't need any of them, it would be nice to block them all.  

Thanks

  Hello,

  Thank you for voicing your idea. I can confirm that this feature is available for Enterprise customers on the Umbrella Dashboard. At this time, your organization is on the OpenDNS Dashboard and does not have access to this Dynamic DNS zone blocking. To obtain this feature, please reach out to your Account Manager and ask about upgrading to the Umbrella Dashboard!

  If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to respond to this message.

  Best regards,

  That isn't very helpful a response for home users who can't get Umbrella sercvices for various reasons.

  Hello,

  There is a new package available that is designed for small business or power users called Umbrella Prosumer which includes the Umbrella services. To see details, please visit http://www.opendns.com/enterprise-security/packages-and-pricing/ and scroll down to "Want a package for 1 to 5 Users?".

  But from https://store.opendns.com/umbrella/prosumer I cannot proceed.  Clicking "Next" causes to land on https://store.opendns.com/umbrella/prosumer again...
  Using latest FireFox.  In IE it's better.

  Hi rotblitz,

  I checked the site in both the latest Firefox and Chrome, and both are able to load the next screen without issue. The next page is linked to and contained on the same page (prosumer#seats), but loaded with JavaScript. Double check that JavaScript is enabled for your FireFox for opendns.com as well as cloudfront.net.

  I see, there's a rule -ga-track. in one of the AdBlock Plus subscriptions which blocked your JS https://shared.opendns.com/js/opendns-ga-track.js

  I see, there's a rule -ga-track. in one of the AdBlock Plus subscriptions which blocked your JS https://shared.opendns.com/js/opendns-ga-track.js

  That's quite helpful to know! I'll bubble this up to the web team so that we don't have future users getting stuck. AdBlock Plus is a very common add-on and this naming of the javascript necessary to run the page may pose issues in the future. Nice work finding that rule and thank you for bringing it to our attention.

  rotblitz, would you mind providing the subscription that includes the block of *ga-track.*? It isn't included in the default EasyList subscription so with Adblock Plus enabled I am still able to proceed through the store.
