a domain that changes when enter is selected causes it not to be filtered
I wasn't sure where to submit this; so I'm submitting it here
I've entered a portion of a url that automatically changes into an actual url that is porn; that is listed in the Adult site domains that are meant to be filtered; but isn't filtered.
I've noticed that the portion of the url, and the actual url are both entered in the Adult site domains that should be blocked / filtered.
But only when the complete name of the url is entered is it blocked;
But when entering the portion of the name (which is enough to cause it to be converted into the actual url), it's not blocked / filtered.
Kind of like when entering espn.com, it converts to espn.go.com (for some reason that's being blocked?). But for my example espn.go.com would be blocked / filtered; but when entering espn.com it wouldn't be filtered. I now need to figure out why espn.com and espn.go.com are being blocked? But hopefully you can solve this issue how it's related to adult sites.

It seems you don't know what a "url" is...
Whatever, if an alias (CNAME) is blocked, the real domain name is blocked too, and vice versa. But your example has nothing to do with it.
"Kind of like when entering espn.com, it converts to espn.go.com"
It is not "converted" and not a CNAME, but there's a webhop from espn.com to espn.go.com. As I said webhop, this is unrelated to DNS. From a DNS side there is no relationship between the two domains.
"espn.go.com (for some reason that's being blocked?)"
Sure, if you have blocked any of Games, News/Media, Television, Sports, Portals.
https://domain.opendns.com/espn.go.com"but when entering espn.com it wouldn't be filtered."
It would be if you had blocked any of Games, News/Media, Television, Sports.
https://domain.opendns.com/espn.com
And sure it would indeed be filtered too if you reached espn.go.com via espn.com, no doubt. In this case (of a webhop) you do not need to block espn.com, just espn.go.com."I now need to figure out why espn.com and espn.go.com are being blocked?"
Was the information above sufficient to figure this out? It may help if you revealed the real domain names you're talking about. It may be a totally different situation there.
" But hopefully you can solve this issue how it's related to adult sites."
I'm a user like you and don't solve issues at OpenDNS. But I don't see an issue. Please don't fix what's not broken.
