HI All,

i want to have a porn blocker via my zyxel d1000 router (eir is wifi provider, in Ireland) .

I just can't get it to work,

I can't find specific instructions for my router. I've an account made and I'm accessing the dashboard, I think the issue is that I cant find where to change the dns on browser but i just cant figure it out.

any help would be great,

thanks

Hi,

I was able to look up the router's manual at eir D1000 modem, and on page 38, it talks about editing your current broadband connection. There's also a screenshot of what you should see too and where you can put our DNS IP addresses.

If you're unable to configure your router to use OpenDNS, then we suggest you configure your computer instead (see https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/sections/206253647). You will get the same benefits, and if you have a small number of computers on your network, it's relatively easy.

Best regards,

If you can, you change the DNS server names on the router to the OpenDNS ones. If this is not possible, you still can change the DNS servers on the end user devices.

Your dashboard is irrelevant before the above, and you don't change anything on browsers unless you have a Chromebook.
