Bypass account not working
I have gone over articles about "why bypass account not workin".
I have deleted my network from https://dashboard.opendns.com/.
I have recreated bypass account.
I am using lated Netgear Genie and logged in using bypass account. But still it is not working.
What am I missing?
here is the output (I have masked my IP)
C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222
Non-authoritative answer:
debug.opendns.com text =
"server 1.chi"

Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222It seems you have the OpenDNS resolver addresses configured on your computer or explicitly on the router? I would have expected to see only your router's IP address (192.168.0.1 or so) here.
Therefore it seems that you send your DNS queries directly to OpenDNS, bypassing LPC, and you get default results then, i.e. only Phishing and few malware domains being blocked, nothing else.
If it is not this, better open a support ticket with OpenDNS, because your account must be checked, and this is nothing we other users could do.

On my router,
Under Advanced > Setup > Internet Setup > I have checked Use these DNS servers and I have hard coded two IP addresses..one of which I have in the output I sent you/the one you questioned.
How do I not send my queries directly OpenDNS and not bypass LPC?
Do I need to select "Get automatically from ISP"?

"Under Advanced > Setup > Internet Setup > I have checked Use these DNS servers and I have hard coded two IP addresses.."
Wow, why did you do this? I would not know that this would be part of any instructions for setting up LPC. :(

Yep, revert to this option. Enabling LPC does it all for you already, but differently from what you can do. After you reverted to the default, it may be needed to disable LPC and reenable it again, not sure though.

I am getting into vicious cycle.
After disabling hard coded IP, and enabling Get Automatically from ISP, I go to Netgear Genie > Parental control it shows disabled. So, I enable parental control there, and come back to router's page...That setting I changed and applied now shows hard coded IP and "Get Automatically from ISP" is unchecked...
This cycle keeps repeating...what's going on?
What am I missing?
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address Get Automatically from ISP
