w10.guidetest.b.10.opendns.com
Some sites hang looking for "w10.guidetest.b.10.opendns.com", in Firefox, IE and Chrome

Rotblitz, I have entered the commands in a command prompt exactly as you wrote them, the above lines are the exact output that appeared on the command window (my Windows 7 Home Premium is a Brazilian localized version).
But after trying that, I experimented with changing the OpenDNS servers to those of GoogleDNS and had the same problem, so I no longer think that it's an OpenDNS problem. The sites that give me the problem are related to www.pcmag.com 2nd level links, everything else works OK.

"I have entered the commands in a command prompt exactly as you wrote them"
No, you didn't. You entered just "nslookup" and were landing on the nslookup subprompt. Then you entered the command "nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com." at the subprompt. And then you entered "tracert 208.67.222.222" at the nslookup subprompt too. This is not going to work, but will exactly produce the useless output I see! What you did (as it clearly says), you first entered an "unrecognized command", and then you queried the hostname "tracert" at OpenDNS which returned 67.215.65.132 (hit-nxdomain.opendns.com).
"The sites that give me the problem are related to www.pcmag.com 2nd level links"
This dramatically changes the picture from "Some sites hang looking for "w10.guidetest.b.10.opendns.com", in Firefox, IE and Chrome" and is totally different...
If you switch back to OpenDNS, I would need to see the following command outputs then:
nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
tracert 208.67.222.222
nslookup www.pcmag.com.

...and also:
tracert www.pcmag.com

OK, I stand corrected <g>
Here's the output:

Nearly everything's fine, but your dashboard settings will not be used, because your IP address 187.127.27.233 is not registered with your OpenDNS network.
https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/Another observation is that you use the OpenDNS Amsterdam location. Bad routing by your ISP and the peering network carriers...

Just an update: It seems the problem is with a change on the PcMag.com site itself; when I access it, they now recognize by my IP that I'm in Brazil, and switch me to their site in Portuguese (PcMag.com.br); but the second-level link adresses get broken. In the same way, when I logon on their Brazilian site, the links to the US site archives get broken. If I use the Tor browser, which reroutes my IP, everything works OK both ways. As this started happening only recently, I guess they have changed something but slipped up... I wrote them to report the problem.
Thank you for your advice on OpenDns.
