Facebook has become a part of daily routine for most of the people around the world! You can have many reasons to use it: to stay connected with friends and family, to share pics and videos, to publicize things, to start a campaign, to follow your favorites, to ask questions etc.

It’s very easy to use and provides Facebook feeds very quickly. If you also spend most of your time on Facebook, you should try this application on your desktop.

Although there are many Facebook Desktop Clients available on the Internet, but FlipToast is different.

Use OpenDNS Updater for Dynamic IP Addresses

Mrinmay Bhattacharjee — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:10:58 +0000

OpenDNS is an optional Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, which provides additional advanced features to your network like Faster Website Loading, Spelling Correction, Phishing Protection and Content Filtering.

In order to make use of FREE OpenDNS Service, you need to alter the Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses in your MODEM/ROUTER Configuration Page as follows:

In Primary DNS Field enter OpenDNS IP Address: 208.67.222.222 (resolver1.opendns.com)
In Secondary DNS Field enter OpenDNS IP Address: 208.67.220.220 (resolver2.opendns.com)

In case, you already got an OpenDNS Account for tracking the performance of your Network. Than it’s recommended that you should use OpenDNS Updater (Client Side Software) in order to keep the Dynamic IP Addresses updated for your network (in case your ISP is providing you with Dynamic IP Addresses, instead of a static IP Address)

The OpenDNS Updater will run in your system tray and send updates to your account whenever your IP address changes. This will help ensure that your system preferences are applied to your network all the time.

In order to use OpenDNS Updater, Download the software from here (for Windows, Linux and MAC Operating System), and then enter the Email Address, which is associated with your OpenDNS Account, the Password, and the Network Label of the network in the required fields.

After doing the above mentioned simple steps, the OpenDNS Updater will take care of the rest. No matter, how many times your IP Address changes, your network can always make use of applied OpenDNS settings and you can also track the network performance from your OpenDNS Dashboard.
