OpenDNS is not blocking sites
Hello
I made router to use DNS addresses OpenDNS asks to configure. After configuration I got sites blocked as expected. I have chosen Custom categories and accordingly it blocked couple of porn sites I tried to browse. But suddenly after few minutes it stopped blocking and now I able to browse the porn sites which was being blocked few minutes ago.
The router I am using : Netgear C6900
The router setup dashboard shows DNS as below, i
>>
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220, 2001:558:feed::1, 2001:558:feed::2 |
>>
dont know where those ::1 and ::2 is coming from. I never configured it and when I go to conifguration page where I put the IPs it shows only OpenDNS gateway IPs.
When i go to welcome page it shows "Oops!" :(
The output of commands suggested on another thread is as shown below

Can you please help what am i doing wrong?

So, i finally got it to block sites. I was having issues from the beginning. Sites not blocked for 24 hours, then sudently they would be blocked and then revert to unblocked...
I was trying to block pbskids games from my 7 year old :) i only allow her to play a little bit, but it was becoming too much to control...
The issue i had:
My netgear R700 had 2 options
I had inadvertently selected the Open DNS parental controls and also added the DNS Servers
Once i disabled both parental controls, it finally worked. For the life of me, i couldn't understand what i was doing wrong...
