What is the ID identifier???
The identifier is the OpenDNS network ID your IP address xx.xx.xx.xx is associated with. According to this output everything is fine, and you're using OpenDNS to its full unless this network ID is not yours, but someone else's.

Here was the question...
Here is another Not-working issue with routers. I have Asus RT-N16. I have set the following:
On WAN Page, Connect to DNS Server Automatically = NO.
Place in the two DNS IP Addresses 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220.
On the LAN Page under DHCP the one DNS IP Address I have tried both "blank" and one of the DNS IP addresses.
I have dynamic IP, using the OpenDNS Updater.
Flushed DNS, re-powered router, re-powered PC, clear cache, waved magic sticks at computer, but still, I can surf naughty sites. On the home page of the Asus Router, I see WAN IP, the two DNS IP(s) which are correct. However, it just seems as though everything is bypassing the DNS servers.
When running the "check if I am protected" web thing from OpenDNS - I get the big check mark saying I am Safe!
Looking at the Stat Logs, I do not see anything logging, hence, I am not sure the Router is playing nice. Any thoughts?I was asked to supply the above info, however, I have not had any response. I guess OpenDNS just does not work.

OpenDNS always works, even when I sleep. ;-) And 30+ million people are certainly stupid enough to use a non-working service, pretty clear...
Your question was answered: The identifier is the OpenDNS network ID your IP address xx.xx.xx.xx is associated with. According to this output everything is fine, and you're using OpenDNS to its full unless this network ID is not yours, but someone else's.
So, is the xxxxxxx your OpenDNS network ID or not? Find it out by moving the mouse over the IP address here: https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/
Then look into the link displayed to see your network ID.It's not your router or your computer bypassing OpenDNS, so it can be your browser only. What browser are you using?

There is no secondary DHCP setting unless you have multiple DHCP servers on your network.
The primary and secondary DNS settings will be in the page where you configure your Internet connection. Also, your question would be better posted on the Asus forums as it is device specific rather than OpenDNS related

Maybe I should ask the question differently -- After I put the OpenDNS values in my Router -- do all the things mentioned above to flush, clean, Ipconfig /renew, etc. Should I be able to go to a non-friendly site? If OpenDNS is my DNS Servers, then, how am I getting DNS resolutions for those BAD sites. I am Time Warner if that is any additional help?

"Should I be able to go to a non-friendly site?"
What is a "non-friendly" site? If you blocked a domain with your dashboard settings, you will not be able to resolve it to its real IP address, else you will.
Also, "ipconfig /renew" is not part of any instructions, just "ipconfig /flushdns" is.
"If OpenDNS is my DNS Servers, then, how am I getting DNS resolutions for those BAD sites."
You don't. That is how OpenDNS prevents you from resolving and visiting such domains.
"I am Time Warner if that is any additional help?"
No, it isn't, because it's rather irrelevant.

Hi.
sorry to resurrect this thread. but i got the same issue with @harthenry. If I check on my opendns dashboard, it says that I am safe which means I have set my router correctly. However, it is not blocking any site I wanted to block. Are there any other settings that I need to do on my PC itself.. My router is Asus RT-NT12 and I have put the opendns dns server under asus WAN settings, I have also tried the DNS server under asus LAN settings and none of my opendns settings work.
can anyone help me.

Brian Hartvigsen and all the others are wrong. It's not your browser. And it's not your DNS Cache.
Here is what is going on. At some point in time, you must have installed some software that changed your DNS settings in your Network Connections, to manually use some specific DNS servers. Adware does this, to make sure you cannot block it.
On a PC... here is what you need to do: On Windows 10, click the little wifi (or internet connection icon) in the bottom right side of screen. then click Network Settings. From there, click Change Adapter Options.
Then, Right-Click each of the connections, and choose Properties. Choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Then click Properties. Good chance there are some entries in the 'Use DNS Server addresses' box. These are your culprits. Choose the OBTAIN DNS SERVER ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY radio button. Then, OK, OK, and OK again.
I would also check TCP/IPv6 as well, and check all your other connections while you are at it.
This should fix it. It did for me!!
Cheers,
Joey
