How to configure Eero router to OpenDNS servers
I have changed the two ipv4 dns servers to those used by opendns (208.67.220.220 & ...222.222) and the modem is hidden, so my home computers are not accessing the internet through that, but the filters I set up in opendns are not working. What exactly must be done to configure an eero router to opendns? Again, I have already gone into "advanced settings" and "DNS servers" in Eero and entered the OpenDNS servers there.
I submitted tickets on this issue to OpenDNS weeks ago but no response.

1) nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com gives as follows:
Server: resolver2.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.220.220Non-authoritative answer:
debug.opendns.com text ="server m45.ash"

debug.opendns.com text ="originid 0"
debug.opendns.com text ="actype 0"
debug.opendns.com text ="source 64.121.187.50:54895"
2) nslookup whoami.akamai.net gives as follows:
Server: resolver2.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.220.220Name: whoami.akamai.net
Address: 2620:0:ccb::77 -
You visit https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/ and update your network with the IP address information. Ensure that you run an update client doing this automatically going further.

i am having the same issue but whe nI type the suggested commands into Terminal on my Mac I get:
1) nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com
Server: 2001:4860:4860::8884
Address: 2001:4860:4860::8884#53
Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find debug.opendns.com: No answer
Authoritative answers can be found from:
opendns.com
origin = auth1.opendns.com
mail addr = noc.opendns.com
serial = 1585789538
refresh = 16384
retry = 2048
expire = 1048576
minimum = 2560
2) nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
Server: 2001:4860:4860::8884
Address: 2001:4860:4860::8884#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: whoami.akamai.net
Address: 18.220.203.161
I'd note that 2001:4860:4860::8884 and 888 are my iPv6 Primary and Secondary addresses. my iPv4 is 74.68.106.201

"i am having the same issue"
Do you also have an Eero router? Or why do you think you have the same issue, therefore posting in this thread instead of opening a new one? Else I do not see that you have the same or similar issue.
You're using a DNSv6 service probably from your ISP, not OpenDNS. You must also configure the IPv6 side on your Eero router with DNS server addresses from the following list:
::ffff:d043:dedc ::ffff:d043:dcde ::ffff:d043:dede ::ffff:d043:dcdc -
"Eero's default iPv6 addresses prevented its filters from working"
These do not exist. Same as with IPv4, IPv6 addresses are assigned by your ISP and are not default, but usually dynamic. And assigned IPv4 or IPv6 addresses cannot prevent filters from working. And this has nothing to do with Macs either.
"Eero does not accept them as valid"
That's bad. Then your only other option is to disable IPv6 connectivity altogether. Else you will not be using OpenDNS and/or your dashboard settings.

Hi there,
I have a eero pro 6 and filtering is not working.
1 - I have added my network (external IP) to open DNS
2 - Under custom, I have already selected the filtering options
3 - Set the customs DNS (208.67.220.220 & ...222.222) and wait the 3 min to update but no filtering.
Run both commands and getting below answers
