Using OPENDNS on a Mikrotik

At the office we use a Mikrotik which is connected via fibre to Cool Ideas .  We use OpenDNS as a Information Security tool.  It prevents ransomware and bots from becoming major incidents within the office. The router is scheduled to do a daily update via script of the OpenDNS settings.  Below is the example: :local opendnsuser "user@domain.co.za"; :local opendnspass "itsprivate"; :local opendnshost "office"; :log info "OpenDNS Update"; :local url "https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update"; /tool fetch url=($url . "\3Fhostname=$opendnshost") user=("$opendnsuser") password=("$opendnspass") mode=https dst-path=opendnsupdate.txt :local opendnsresult [/file get opendnsupdate.txt contents]; :log info "OpenDNS: Host $opendnshost - $opendnsresult";
