 # DIGITAL OCEAN DYNAMIC IP API CLIENT
 A simple script in Go language to automatically update Digital ocean DNS records if you have a dynamic IP. Since it can be compiled on any platform, you can use it along with raspberrypi etc.
 
-To find your Dynamic IP, this program will call out to https://diagnostic.opendns.com/myip.
+To find your Dynamic IP, this program will call out to https://ipv4bot.whatismyipaddress.com for ipv4 addresses and https://ipv6bot.whatismyipaddress.com for ipv6 addresses. This is to support dual-stack environments.
 
 ## requirements
 Requires Git and Go for building.

 If you want to reduce the number of calls made to the digital ocean API and have more than 20 DNS records in your domain, you can adjust the `doPageSize` parameter. By default, Digital Ocean returns 20 records per page.
 
+By default, the configuration checks both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assuming your provider set up your connection as dual stack. If you know you only have ipv4 or ipv6 you can disable using one or the other in the config. To disable one or the other, set the `useIPv4` or `useIPv6` settings to `false`. If the options aren't present, or are set to `null`, then the configuration assumes a value of `true`.
