Netgear LPC not blocking sites

April 10, 2020 05:08

I have LPC enabled and added few domains to blacklisting for Always blocking at https://netgear.opendns.com/

But the sites are not blocked. Can you help?

I have followed the instructions here https://kb.netgear.com/25687/

The output of the following diagnostic commands :

nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
debug.opendns.com text =

"server m45.ash"
debug.opendns.com text =

"device 0000AF21D5782362"
debug.opendns.com text =

"flags 40422 0 8010 180000000000000000003940000000000000000"
debug.opendns.com text =

"originid 229390512"
debug.opendns.com text =

"actype 1"
debug.opendns.com text =

"bundle 229390512"
debug.opendns.com text =

"source 76.104.2.237:33661"



nslookup whoami.akamai.net.

Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1

Sorry, I had the DNS servers in my router pointing to OpenDNS server. So I removed those as well as I was using LPC from Genie app.

Now DNS servers are as provided by ISP
```
nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
```
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1

opendns.com
primary name server = auth1.opendns.com
responsible mail addr = noc.opendns.com
serial = 1586492676
refresh = 16384 (4 hours 33 mins 4 secs)
retry = 2048 (34 mins 8 secs)
expire = 1048576 (12 days 3 hours 16 mins 16 secs)
default TTL = 2560 (42 mins 40 secs)
```
nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
```
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.1.1

ok, sorry for multiple comments. I have re-performed all the steps using the KB article above. But still the sites are not blocked.

Not sure what I missed.

After doing LPC, I see that DNS is pointing to OpenDNS.

I clicked on Custom and it took me to netgear.opendns.com.

There, I have clicked on Account Settings and Blacklist

You can see the sites I have blocked
