Why is it so hard to protect families?

I have sent up OpenDNS on my modem before. Now I have a new modem and the company says that I need to order a static IP address. What is that? Why does it have to be this hard to protect families.

 

The instructions on the OpenDNS site say  nothing about ordering a static IP address. 

 

How do I get this set up again on my new modem?

  I had all the same complaints.

  First, add the ip4 on your router as the instructions state.

  Second, add to your ip6 the following:

  2620:0:ccc::2
  2620:0:ccd::2

  Also, do allow your router to automatically set its own IP6, it must go to these OpenDNS settings.  I'm not sure why that not in the setup instructions.

  The addresses 2620:0:ccc::2 and 2620:0:ccd::2 do not come with content filtering and stats.  You would have to use from the following resolver addresses:
  ::ffff:d043:dede   ::ffff:d043:dcdc   ::ffff:d043:dedc   ::ffff:d043:dcde

  If your new modem does not have DNS server fields to enter, then you cannot set it up on this device.  Better return this modem and get a better one.  You should not need a static IP address.
  

  Alternatively, configure OpenDNS on the end user devices.
