Dashboard--Settings--<network>"Manage Individual Domains"

Type in the domain and make sure the drop-down list has selected "Always Block" then click Add Domain.

Is it possible to block a site "on the fly". Most of us will not take the time to go to the OpenDNS site and type or paste in a URL.

If you don't have this ability, please add it.

Thanks!

What do you mean by "blocking on the fly"? If someone won't visit the management page to control their settings how else would they make changes to their configuration?

Here's a scenario describing what I mean by "on the fly":

-   you are browsing through various web sights.

-   you encounter a page/site that you want blocked.

-   press a "Block" command button/ menu item/ whatever that requires only one or at the most two clicks.

That's what I am looking for.

Thanks!

No, this is not available.

There is an FF bookmarklet for domain tagging: https://support.opendns.com/entries/22360195
and there is/was a FF plugin for similar purposes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendns-domain-tagging-assista/
but nothing which would add a domain name to your "always block" list.

You had to enter this in the idea bank https://support.opendns.com/forums/21211727-Idea-Bank as a feature request.
