WD MyCloud port forwarding is being blocked, anyone run into that before? trying to enable web access and thinking that OpenDNS might be the issue.

  DNS and port forwarding are unrelated, because DNS has nothing to do with ports.  Your problem may be a name resolution problem.

  It seems you must enter your WD device's name to your VPN exceptions list.

  If you don't know what name(s) to enter, visit your domain stats: https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/all/topdomains
  You should find the name(s) there.  It is probably WDMYCLOUD, possible with a DNS suffix appended, e.g. WDMYCLOUD.local.  Enter exactly these names as VPN exceptions.

  Alternatively or in addition, if your WD device has a static internal IP address assigned, you can add a line like the following into your local hosts files:

  192.168.1.25  wdmycloud
