Ubuntu

Open up an account at OpenDNS and edit your network setting to use the dns servers provided:

208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

I had some trouble to get OpenDNS working with ubuntu. So according to this thread and an info on opendns.com i did the following:

sudo apt-get install ddclient
sudo vim /etc/ddclient.conf
##
## OpenDNS.com account-configuration
##
use=web, web=whatismyip.org
ssl=yes
server=updates.opendns.com
protocol=dyndns2          
login=opendns_username    
password=opendns_password 
opendns_network_label

Make sure SSL is enabled at the top of the configuration (ssl=yes # use ssl-support.)
