Setting up OpenDNS on a MK83

Setting up OpenDNS on a MK83

Ok.  Please excuse the ignorance.  but I haven't played with my home network in a long time.  I'm setting up the MK83 to use OpenDNS.   what I've done so far. 

I changed the DNS numbers on the router to the OpenDNS numbers.

Registered with OpenDNS and added my network with the IP detected by OpenDNS.

I went to the router settings / Advanced set up / Dynamic DNS and selected use Dynamic DNS service. ater creating an account with NoIP.com and entered my login info.  clicked status and got a good response.  (<userename.****.net> updated successfully at 12:45AM,08/02/2021)  user name and *** just in case... LOL

and that is how far I got.... what I'm  I supposed to do after ?  so that OpenDNS gets my  new IP if and when it changes.  or is that alll I need. to do?

 

 

Thanks.

So noIP.com had me change my IP in my noIP account to 1.1.1.1 and restart my router.  to verify that the IP would get updated.  well. it didn't.  what am I missing?
