Amplifi HD and OpenDNS

I recently installed the Amplifi HD mesh router in my house. I went into the settings and configured the DNS servers to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 and have verified that my IP address matches the IP address in my OpenDNS account. I have confirmed the numbers are correct probably a dozen times, but I still am not getting any filtering going on.

I chatted with Amplifi customer support and they said that Amplifi does no "support" OpenDNS, but I don't think there is anything that really could be supported. It is simply setting up DNS addresses if I understand this correctly.

Is there anything obvious I am overlooking?

Starting with Amplifi firmware 2.8.5 released 9/2018, my OpenDNS updater running on Windows 7 was very flaky, sometimes reporting it was using OpenDNS and sometimes not. Also browsing to http://internetbadguys.com was sometimes blocked as a fishing site and sometimes not. Fix was to browse to http://amplifi.lan/settings.php and enable "Bypass DNS cache". Please note that after making this change, you can no longer browse to the router by name; you have to use IP, 192.168.109.1 for me which is the default.
