Netgear Parental Control not working
The filter is just not working - sites are accesible even when blacklisted.

So that you can understand the local network:
AT&T router modem address 192.168.1.254. Netgear R7000 assigned itself address 10.0.0.1 All local clients got DHCP address from Netgear, 10.0.0.X
Output from above command:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:\Users\Jeanine> nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
primary name server = localhost
responsible mail addr = nobody.invalid
serial = 1
refresh = 600 (10 mins)
retry = 1200 (20 mins)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 10800 (3 hours)

The problem is that you do not send your DNS queries to OpenDNS yet, so OpenDNS cannot work for you, and your OpenDNS settings are irrelevant.
See also http://welcome.opendns.com/This can have several reasons like:
- Most likely: Your AT&T modem works in NAT mode, but should work in bridged mode or should be eliminated at all.
- You don't have Live Parental Controls enabled on your Netgear router. Enable it!
- You're running Avast Security Suite 2015 and have Secure DNS enabled. Disable it!
- Your ISP redirects your DNS queries to their own DNS service. Check it with: nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220
