PlusNet new Modem/Router Hub One no changes allowed and nslookup returns not OpenDNS reslover
OK so. I just got a new router from Plusnet (HUB ONE) and it does not allow me to enter the OpenDNS servers. However, nslookup also returns that it will not redirect OpenDNS either.
Is there ANY way then that I can use OpenDNS?
If I bought a new router would PlusNet also redirect that back to it's servers?
(If not any recommendations on a good router?)
Is this legal for ISPs to constrict to only their servers?
It gives all the power to the ISP and none to the user!!!
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Can you post the complete command output as plain text here? I want to understand what you're saying here. It may be that you have two problems, your ISP hi-jacking your DNS traffic, and you router not allowing to specify DNS resolver addresses.
And yes, there may be options to use OpenDNS nevertheless.
If I understand you right, this thread may be able to help you further:

"requested the unblock OpenDNS"
This may be too restrictive. It's not really about OpenDNS, but about any 3rd party DNS service you may ever want to use. I cannot imagine that they have restricted and redirected OpenDNS only, but any DNS traffic in general, same as a few other ISPs do for whatever reason.
But beside this, you investigated correctly and took appropriate measures. Good luck!
