OpenDNS suddenly not working. IP is correct..
Hi
OpenDNS has suddenly stopped working. On the dashboard settings page my IP is correct and matches, and updates when I reset my router. Here are my settings for IPv4 and IPv6. Is this right or do I also need to fill out the top fields?
Other than this I cannot see what the issue is. Would appreciate help to get OpenDNS up and running for good.
cheers.

Your settings on the computer look fine. Do not touch the top fields! But I need more information. Copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands to here:
nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
netsh interface ipv4 show config
netsh interface ipv6 show dnsservers -

It looks like Sky started "suddenly" to redirect your DNS traffic to their own DNS service. But you are not alone. See https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360043501972
Also, you don't seem to have IPv6 connectivity, so you do not need to care about IPv6 settings.
