I think it can run user-made scripts (that's the point, after all), but |
| 16 |
my experience with OpenWRT is nil. I can cook up the script easily |
| 17 |
enough, but I don't know about ezupdate in OpenWRT. Anyway, I don't |
| 18 |
really need dyndns, just knowing the IP would be enough for my modest |
| 19 |
needs. |

What seems great about OpenWRT is the possibility of installing |
| 21 |
packages. Only debian packages made for OpenWRT. I guess I'll have to |
| 22 |
learn about that... |
