Use Netgear LPC in conjunction with Umbrella
If I add my public IP address to the corporate Umbrella service, can I use Umbrella overtop/alongside LPC from my Netgear router?
The details
I have a situation where three of my computers are connected to this router - either on the LAN or wireless. Two of the computers must be locked down with a very restrictive profile, one needs to be more restricted but not as much as the first two, and the guest wireless network needs to be fairly open. However, I'm not going to require visitors to my business to use and set up an OpenVPN guest profile, so I can't configure the default profile to be as restrictive as I need for my first two computers.
My proposed workaround
I'd like to set LPC to "None" or "Minimal" and control the restrictive filtering through Umbrella by manually setting those two computers to use OpenDNS DNS servers, especially since we already have the restrictive profile built in Umbrella. Is this the best way?

From https://support.opendns.com/entries/25473774-Is-OpenDNS-IP-Updater-needed-when-using-a-Netgear-LPC- I understand that registering an IP address and using LPC on a Netgear router with device ID are not compatible.
The normal OpenDNS service (which uses an IP address) and the Netgear Live Parental Controls (LPC) are not compatible with each other.
