Filtering not working
Answered
I have setup openDns on my router - both ipv4 and ipv6
My current IP (on the home page) matches the IP address in the settings. I see some activity in the stats.
The current filtering setting is at Moderate: Protects against all adult-related sites and illegal activity.
http://welcome.opendns.com/ says "Your Internet is safer, faster, and smarter because you’re using OpenDNS. Thank you!"
http://www.internetbadguys.com/ says "If you were using OpenDNS, real phishing sites would be blocked."
http://www.exampleadultsite.com/ says "If you were using OpenDNS Parental Controls or Web Filtering for business, this demo and real adult sites would be blocked."
nslookup to debug.opendns.com says that my originid is 0, and it timed out every other run:
C:\Users\me>nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com
Server: resolver1.ipv6-sandbox.opendns.com
Address: 2620:0:ccc::2
Non-authoritative answer:
debug.opendns.com text =
"server m3.pao"

debug.opendns.com text =

debug.opendns.com text =

C:\Users\me>nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com

The OpenDNS Updater says that I am indeed using OpenDNS.
What am I doing wrong?
Does comcast have anything to do with this?

"What am I doing wrong?"
You don't read thoroughly enough. At https://www.opendns.com/about/innovations/ipv6/
Note: IPv6 support in the OpenDNS Sandbox is limited to standard recursive DNS initially. Additional functionality, like Web content filtering, malware and botnet protection, phishing protection, and more will be available on different IPs when IPv6 support is added to the OpenDNS Dashboard. We have no plan to ever shut down or change the default features for the sandbox IPs.
Regarding your output:
Server: resolver1.ipv6-sandbox.opendns.com
Address: 2620:0:ccc::2These DNSv6 resolver addresses do not use your dashboard settings, as of the Sandbox article. And you cannot register your IPv6 address 2001:0:4137:9e76:181a:1ae8:cd7e:f0e4 at https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/ as of the Sandbox article.
Try with using ::ffff:d043:dedc and ::ffff:d043:dcde as DNSv6 resolver addresses. If this does not work, then you should disable IPv6 connectivity altogether.
"Does comcast have anything to do with this?"
Not really. It's just that OpenDNS doesn't support IPv6 completely with the enhanced features.
"The OpenDNS Updater says that I am indeed using OpenDNS."
Indeed - IPv4 only. Also the Updater works via IPv4 only.
"it timed out every other run"
Bad. This indicates another problem with your router or with your ISP.
