such as this one: www.wboxi.com/site/shylastylezofficial.com

I put both wboxi.com and shylastylezofficial.com to the black list. could not block when viewing in private session. When I tried to put the who path to the black list, the opendns does not accept the format.

Thanks.

  What is a "who path"?  Or did you mean whole path?  No, a DNS service does not accept URLs, just pure domain names.  DNS doesn't know about URLs.

  No matter, try with adding wboxi.com to your "always block" list if you want to specifically block this, and/or shylastylezofficial.com if you want to specifically block this, wait three minutes and flush your two caches, DNS resolver and browser cache.  Then try again.

  If it is not blocked, then...

  • You don't use OpenDNS for your DNS queries at all.  http://welcome.opendns.com/
    Correct the configuration of the OpenDNS resolver addresses.
  • Or you don't have the correct IP address configured at https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/
    Correct this there, and run an Updater going further.
