White/Black List

I got OpenDNS working on my network Netgear Nighthawk R8500 router (connected to a Comcast Router in Bridge Mode). It is set to Moderate filtering level and works. However, I added a whitelist exception for "pinterest.com". Yet, when I try to access this site it is blocked.

Here is the Diagnostic Info for the block:

Did you flush your caches after the settings change?

If so and still no success, copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands to here:

nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
nslookup www.pinterest.com.

Strangest thing. I know that Netgear LPC and OpenDNS configurations aren't supposed to work simultaneously, but that is how I got my WhiteList to work. I have LPC set through the Netgear genie application (including the Whitelist), but that didn't work. I let the system process for several hours. I then logged into OpenDNS and setup my network on the site and set the same parameters on that site and waited for a while. Then, my WhiteList started working. NOTE: I rebooted the router between changes.

OpenDNS Home and Netgear LPC are not compatible. You will continue to get inconsistent and random results. You should use either the one or the other service.
