DNS Server not working
I added a DNS that blocks adds when I am online I see every add there is so I tried another DNS same thing so the I tried opendns and same thing as the other two. My router is like bypassing my settings and not using any of my DNS. There is a page that tells you if you are connected to there DNS servers. One time it says I am and another time it says I am not. Anyone know anything or can help or know why my router is not using my settings and bypassing them? All the time I am online

Open a command prompt window on your computer, and copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands to here:
nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220
nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com.
nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
netsh interface ipv4 show config
netsh interface ipv6 show dnsAlso, what exact router model do you have? Can you post a screen shot of where you have configured the OpenDNS addresses?

I will try that. I don't get a error or can't really take a screen shot. I can just tell it's not using the DNS Servers just by browsing the Internet. The DNS Servers are not doing what they say they do. That's how I can just tell. I read on some networking websites that it is technically possible for ISPS to override user's DNS with a default one, and some service providers are doing this. Has anyone heard of this could it be true?

Why didn't you post this stuff here instead of uploading it to OneDrive? Whatever,...
As I can see, you're not using OpenDNS, but your ISP's DNSv6 service:
Server: UnKnown
Address: 2001:1998:f00:1::1Clearly not an OpenDNS resolver address! Same as IPv4, you must configure also the IPv6 side on the router or on the computer with addresses from the following list:
::ffff:d043:dede ::ffff:d043:dcdc ::ffff:d043:dedc ::ffff:d043:dcdeAnd you forgot to post the output of the last command.
Another problem is this:You have configured a non-OpenDNS address 198.101.242.72 as 3rd DNS server address. Replace this by an OpenDNS address: 208.67.222.220 or 208.67.220.222.
After having applied these two fixes, everything should work fine. It has nothing to do with your ISP or your router; it was just wrong or missing configuration.

Hi rotblitz, I'm having a similar problem. I've been connected to opendns for a couple of years now and not made any changes but recently have noticed sites not being filtered. the Welcome to OpenDNS test page shows I am not connected, but my router's DNS settings are as above - 208.67.222.222 & ...220.220. I have a DrayTek Vigor 2860, screenshot here:
Any ideas where it's going wrong? -
@jonathan, can you please open an own thread instead of hi-jacking this one? And I need to see the command outputs.
