Linksys e1200 router- opendns not working
I have a problem with my router. I did all the steps and filled all 3 dns' but still it doesn't confirm (welcome.opendns.com). My WAN IP address is in public static IP.
Q1: Does Opendns works on static IP's?
Q2: Some of the sites covered within the categories in filtering are being blocked. if it did not confirm that i have made the right configuration then why would some of the sites are being blocked?
Any help would be nice. Thanks!!

Yes, you can register also a static IP address at the dashboard, of course. In this case you do not run an updater.
I cannot answer Q2 without having more information. 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 dnsserversOr are you affected by the Linksys firmware bug? (Model E1200 is not known for this.)
Read here: https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/228008007
If not working, there is a known bug in recent Linksys firmware versions that prevents DNS settings from applying. To check if your device is affected, check the router stats under Troubleshooting -> Status tab. If the DNS addresses have not changed to 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.222.220, your router is being affected by the bug.
If the OpenDNS addresses are not displaying here, the solution at this time is to roll back the firmware version of your router.

Good Day Rotblitz,
I do appreciate the help. Thanks a lot.
Down below is the result of the command that you gave.
- What should I be looking for within the result to debug the problem?
Thanks again.

I have checked the router status and it is set to openDns addresses.
Q1. Do i also need to set IPV6 configuration or else I disable it?
Q2. My local management access is set to HTTP, and there is also HTTPS option. Which one?
Q3. Does upgrading my router's firmware will somewhat solve this problem?
THanks.

You have enabled an option in your Avast or AVG appliance, probably called Fake Site, Real Site or Secure DNS which hi-jacks your DNS traffic and redirects it to Avast's DNS service. You simply disable this option, and it should work then.
Check it here after the change: http://welcome.opendns.com/Re Q1: It doesn't seem that you have IPv6 connectivity from your ISP.
Re Q2: I do not understand. What has this to do with OpenDNS?
Re Q3: Never mind.
