Do we think DNS O Matic is trustworthy?

Trustworthy in terms of reliability? I’m sure its as good as any other dynamic DNS service out there. OpenDNS has been around for a while, they have an established ops team. Trustworthy as in won’t use your information for dubious purposes? Who knows. But considering the surface area your exposing to them I wouldn’t worry too much. All you’re really giving them is your IP address, which every website you navigate to gets anyway. Trustworthy in terms of security? Their documentation outlines a pretty standard RESTful API authentication system. There are more secure ways to communicate between systems today. If you’re just using this for personal stuff it’s probably fine but I probably wouldn’t use it professionally. Maybe we can get a segment on Security Now highlighting Dynamic DNS services.
