PSN Online on PS3 and PS4
I have my parental controls on strict but this also blocks some games on PS3 and PS4 so they cant be played online (doesn't block all game) such as FIFA, GTA and Destiny.
I was wondering if there was a specific category or specific domain name I could add to my whitelist to unblock these but still have my parental controls on strict.
Thanks

"a specific category or specific domain name I could add to my whitelist"
You cannot add categories to the whitelist or blacklist, just domain names.
"but still have my parental controls on strict"
There is no "Strict" level. And you can just switch from "High" to "Custom" to select or unselect categories.
As you didn't provide the URLs where you access FIFA, GTA and Destiny, I am not in the position to list you domain names to be whitelisted. I can only recommend to not block at least the Games category.

Also, you can see the domains being blocked at https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/all/blockeddomains
If you find domain names relating to these Games sites, you may whitelist them.
If you want to find out what domains are being used by a site, enter their main URL at http://www.webpagetest.org/ - and on the results page click the Domains tab. -
"You cannot add categories to the whitelist or blacklist, just domain names"
I understand that, I meant a category I can deselect. I've already deselected the games category but it still blocks the games. I assume the games fall under multiple categories and those categories are being blocked.
"Also, you can see the domains being blocked at https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/all/blockeddomains"
When I try to find the domains it says "Oops! We don't have any data for you. Try searching a larger range or go surf the net to generate some data".
I've tried a larger range and made sure I selected the right network but it still says the same thing.
That's why I was hoping someone would know the specific domain names that these games use when going online.

Sorry, my advice "your can see the domains being blocked at ..." was stupid! As you use Netgear Live Parental Controls, these do not come with logs and stats, and therefore you can't find any.
And there is no whitelist or blacklist coming with Live Parental Controls. This is a pure router function, unrelated to OpenDNS, as of these instructions:
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24053/ and http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20483/
This allows to blacklist or whitelist by keyword which can be a domain name, a part of a domain name or anything else from a URL.Also, ensure that you deleted any network at https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/ - this dashboard is not for LPC!
Your LPC dashboard is only at https://netgear.opendns.com/
LPC and OpenDNS are incompatible, and you should use either one or the other, never both at the same time.More instructions: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25687/
