- Prompts for deSEC API key and domains if a configuration file does not exist
- Saves the API key and domains to a configuration file for future use
- Fetches the current IP using opendns via dig
- Updates the IP address for each domain in the list
- Waits 1 minute between each request to prevent rate-limiting
- Only performs ip_update if public IP is different from the A record in deSEC name servers
- Timestamping on log output
- ANSI colour log output
- Counter for the number of time ran IP has been checked and IP updates performed
