Website blocking not working

OpenDNS allows me to see the domains visited and all the features of the dashboard are available, however it will not block any sites. I had it set to moderate and even typed in a couple of specific sites, it worked once last and not again. I checked to make sure my current address has not changed. It's still keeping logs.I even tried the DNS for family shield and it won't work. I have been looking at similar concerns so I did the DNS flush as well. I really don't know what the problem is! I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point as I really need to get it working. 

I've seen a user, (I think ROLFBLITZ) that seems to be very knowledgeable, hope you see this and can perhaps help. If not I'll have to send my diagnostics to Opendns. 

 

P.S. I am not knowledgeable about computers/internet, so explain as if to a child! :)

    Copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands to here.
    nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

    nslookup www.exampleadultsite.com.

    I can see no problem, but you forgot the output of the 3rd command.
    Also, what browser are you using?

    And what does http://welcome.opendns.com/ show up with?

    The welcome page says welcome and your internet will work faster etc.
    When I copied the results of the command list, it ended right where I left off. I thought it odd as well so I scrolled down as far as I could and it was blank. No idea why that might be. That's why I included the commands as entered for you to see.
    At the moment, all I can do is block individual domains through the parental controls on my router by device, but that's really weird too. For whatever reason it combines 2 different iPhones as one device even though they have separate MAC address and IP#s. It's not ideal because there are thousands of sites I wish to be blocked. (Pornography in general)
    Thank you btw for the reply!

    To answer your question, I was using Chrome on the computer but I always look at my dashboard on my iPhone, so safari.

    The third command did not execute, because you did not press enter after it.

    Else I ran out of ideas. Open a support ticket, link “submit a request” above.
