I'm in the process of setting up ddclient on my Linux computer. I've come to a question I don't know the answer to. 

---Start of Paste ---
Please enter the list of fully qualified domain names for the local
host(s) (for instance, "myname.dyndns.org" with only one host or
"myname1.dyndns.org,myname2.dyndns.org" for two hosts).
DynDNS fully qualified domain names:
---End of Paste --

Please note that though it says DynDNS, I created "Other" as the network and manually entered OpenDNS specs.
What is the answer to the question?

  In case you want to update your OpenDNS network, the FQDN is the LABEL of your network as shown at https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/

  Rotblitz,

  So the name I gave to my network is Outside. Is that my FQDN? From the attached screenshot, it appears that the FQDN should be in this format: myname.dyndns.org, and not just one word.

  Yes, in case of OpenDNS the FQDN is Outside then.  Something like myname.dyndns.org is for a certain DDNS provider, not for OpenDNS.
