Description

When utilizing the dynDNS service to update a WAN IP on the OpenDNS, the password was not accepted even though it was entered correctly. This was in 2.4.5.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create an account on OpenDNS using a password with an ampersand (&) in it.
- Set up a dynamic dns entry in pfsense using opendns with the same login and password and the network name as the "domain" in pfsense
- enable verbose logging
- save and force update
- observer in system log errors about password not being accepted on openDNS

To workaround
- change the password on the openDNS account to use a dollar-sign ($) instead of ampersand (&)
- update the dynamic dns entry in pfsense for openDNS to use the new password
- save and force update
- observer that IP is now green and log shows successful login
