So your trying to use the updater in pfsense - is this even viable anymore? Their doc's say to use the client to keep your IP updated

I am not sure that the dyndns opendns setting in pfsense works with opendns anymore..
Yep. It does. The build-in Dyn Updater works just fine.
I'm using it since this morning - and was using OpenDNS ones in the past to see if it could do something good for my network, except break all DNSSEC/DANE/…. (so I ditched it).
Then the FreeBSD/pfSense gods invented the Resolver, and I was very happy with it.

Does your IP change.. Many a isp even when your "dynamic" since your router is on all the time, it just renews your dhcp lease and your IP rarely changes.. Before I changed isp I had the same IP for years!! And since I have moved to new isp I have had the same IP since be with them.. Couple of months.
You're right.
Even with a IP WAN that changes every time - no need to setup the automatic DyNDNS procedure. Just set everything up and hard code the IP WAN in the settings of OpenDNS. It will work then just until the IP WAN changes.
