I added break.com to the "Always Blocked" list. It blocks break.com but doesn't block www.break.com. I also tried adding www.break.com and it still won't block it. Help, please :)

  Most likely because you didn't flush both, your local resolver cache and your browser cache, after the settings change?

  You visited www.break.com before, and now you're always served of your caches, until they expire.

  Before I asked, I made sure I cleared everything out. Cleaned, flushed rebooted and still not blocking.

  Good, then you need to post the complete output of the following commands here:

  nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
  nslookup break.com.
  nslookup www.break.com.

  Also, tell us what browser you're using.

  Oops, iOS, this is new information. You need a "normal" computer in the same network to execute these commands. Maybe a jailbroken iOS device.

  Where do you have the OpenDNS resolver addresses configured? What does http://welcome.opendns.com/ return with?

  Apparently, something was delayed in happening because now it is working. Thanks for your time and sorry for wasting it.

  Then it was a cache, as I suspected already.
