What would a site looking like this be? http://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/ if I try to go to it nothing comes up. Could it be what happens if you type in a search in google and then just use the images tab? I'm upset bc porn is supposed to be blocked on our home computer but I have learned I can see all kinds of porn that is not blocked in google images, and of course those images don't leave a "paper" trail either so I have no way of knowing if someone is getting around the filters this way. Thanks for any help.

  This kind of domains unavoidable appear when using Facebook. Facebook use Akamai as content delivery network (CDN, fbcdn = Facebook CDN) provider to host any kind of images and other content with them..

  And yes, you cannot visit such sites directly, only the full image URL. And OpenDNS does not have any information about URLs and images and such, just about domain names. If Facebook is to be used in your network, don'teven think about blocking such domains, else Facebook will not work any longer as you expect. Most images will be broken then.

  Thank you for your response and for being polite about it. A lot of times people are condescending if you don't know as much as others about computers. I'm just annoyed that porn can still be viewed via google images and I can't do anything about it.

  Oh, you can very well do something about it. Google themselves provide you with the tool: Google SafeSearch.
