open dns only works on a pc
I have already configured openDns on my router, but it only works where I set it, it does not work on devices and other PCs (ipv6 is disabled and ipv4 is automatic)
-
I need more information. Copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands to here, from a PC where it does not work.
nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
netsh interface ipv4 show configAlso, post a screen shot of the router page where you have configured OpenDNS.

This is not plain text, but screen shot images. :(
Regardless, unlike you said, IPv6 is *not* disabled , but you're using 2806:10b8:ffff:2::e as DNSv6 server address which is your ISP's DNS service.
Instead of disabling IPv6, you better configure IPv6 with the DNS server addresses ::ffff:d043:dedc and ::ffff:d043:dcde

They are not? Visit http://welcome.opendns.com/ on these devices to ensure that they are using OpenDNS at all.
If they are not using OpenDNS, then check their network settings to ensure that they obtain them automatically via DHCP from the router, and that they do not have alternative DNS server addresses configured. There are also apps which establish a dummy VPN connection in order to use custom DNS services. This would circumvent OpenDNS as well.

"when I check if they are using opendns I get an x"
Ah yes, they are not using OpenDNS at all! Disable the "Data Saver" option in Chrome. This is "any kind of VPN" or proxy which circumvents any other configured DNS service like OpenDNS.
In addition, you may want to add compress.googlezip.net and check.googlezip.net to your "always block" list.Btw, as almost, the knowledge base is your friend: https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227989047
You must just read it. You did not need to raise it here again.
