On line 3 you set:

readonly resolvconf="/etc/resolv.conf"

And then on line 65 you do:

f)  resolvconf=$OPTARG

That doesn't work and the script warns me that it doesn't work and it writes to /etc/resolv.conf instead of /opt/resolv.conf, which I specified.

Hi kewl,
Is there a way to automativally change the ipv6 dns servers?
Regards

Each time I run
opennic-up
I will see

Checking network is up
Using 88.198.116.156 as API host
https://api.opennicproject.org/geoip/?list&ipv=4&res=200&adm=0&bl&wl
Pinging 49 hosts to determine the top ones...
Resulting in 1 responsive hosts
Not enough responsive OpenNIC servers available

in my terminal.

• Is it an expected error for Chinese users?
• Or what can I do to fix it given that I am in China and only have SOCKS proxy?

Hi certainly, then I am not using ipv6 servers myself and haven't implemented it

What would you need to implement it?

First off, thank you very much for this utility. It works great and is very handy.

The README could use a bit more information though.

Only upon executing the script was I informed that I also needed 'fping' and 'drill'. (I finally found drill in the 'ldns' package.)

After installing fping, the script still said it couldn't find it. It was not in my user path, because it was installed to /usr/sbin/ .

1. Apparently the script needs to be run as root?

2. The README informs where opennic-up and opennic-up.conf can reside, but does not say where opennic-up.timer and opennic-up.service should be placed.

And just FYI, there is a typo: "For a full integration of the automated update process with you system and with systemd..." Should be, "your system".

The API loves giving me slow servers at the top of the list. It would be a very nice feature if you could blacklist certain servers that are known to be slow.

Two lines in the script have hard coded IPs and neither of the IPs resolve at this time

anycast="185.121.177.177"

# wait for network up 20s*4
log 'Checking network is up'
fping -q -t 20000 "$anycast"

# find out what the IP address of api.opennicproject.org is, fallback static IP address configured
apihost=api.opennic.org
apiip=$(dnslookup "$anycast" "$apihost")
echo $apiip
apiip=${apiip:-"161.97.219.82"}
log "Using $apiip as API host"

The IP 185.121.177.177 is down and 161.97.219.82 is abandoned to a VM host provider.

Took me a while to figure out, maybe it could be helpful for future users to make it known
