client-bound Dynamic DNS agent for easy deployment
Requesting a client-specific Dynamic DNS agent, like how the URC is paired with a client.
Currently to pair a dynamic agent with a client we have to log into the agentand pick the network. Which means anyone with access to this device can also look at other clients' networks.
Alternatively, we can make an account per client for this sort of management... but with 50+ clients, this is an administrative pain both within OpenDNS console and externally (we need to make email addresses to bind the accounts to)
One is a security problem, the other is a lot of repetitive effort.
Please create a client-bound dynamic DNS agent (or something similar) so we can get around both problems and make bulk deployment easier.

What is URC?"anyone with access to this device can also look at other clients' networks."
What update client is this? The official OpenDNS Updater for Windows?
"Please create a client-bound dynamic DNS agent (or something similar)"
No problem, here you go: https://updater.marc-hoersken.de/
Btw, there are even more, like ddclient or inadyn. It's your choice! -
URC is 'Umbrella Roaming Client'
The product is the OpenDNS/Umbrella MSP services.
As an MSP, we have dozens of clients using OpenDNS. Many are small businesses without a static connection so they need a dynamic updater of some sort, which gives us the problem I've described above.
We use the updater with a general 'service organization' level account and risk exposing information (even if that information is just network name) between clients, or we use a 'client organization' level account... and have to make dozens of these accounts (with unique email addresses) to do so.
An updater bound to the client (like the URC is) would solve both problems.
