Struggling with Google Wifi + OpenDNS for individual SiteBlocking
Hello there,
I recently added the OpenDNS on top of Google WiFi Mesh. I changed the DNS setting on Google Wifi to reflect 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. The https://welcome.opendns.com is working. But still the site blocking is not. Any support is appreciated. Thank you again.
Adding some information, based on the info from other posts
nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220
nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com.
Server: 192.168.86.1
Address: 192.168.86.1#53

which.opendns.com text = "m31.lax"

Except for the lookup against whoami.akamai.net there's nothing wrong with your command outputs. And www.calm.com is being blocked (146.112.61.104 = hit-block.opendns.com) because you have calm.com or www.calm.com in your blacklist.
If you still can visit it, then it is your browser or another (e.g. AV) tool on your computer circumventing your system DNS settings. What browser are you using?

It is recommended to clear the local caches once after every settings change.
