Can't get OpenDNS operational

Hi,

I can't get OpenDNS to work.

The DNS Updater shows it's not setup. Nor does the page https://welcome.opendns.com/ .

I do have it set up on my PC as well as my Router;

Hope anyone can help me. Here's my ipconfig /all

"set up on my PC as well as my Router"

That's a bad idea to investigate problems. This is overdone. You don't know where the problem may be then. Configure on the router only, and obtain the network details on the PC automatically from the router.

And you most likely forgot to configure DNSv6 on the router, because you have IPv6 connectivity.

Working now on my Desktop, thank you.

However, it is not working on my phone - I still receive adware on my phone while it's blocked in the dashboard?

Why do you think your phone should be using OpenDNS? What did you do to use OpenDNS on your phone?

Visit http://welcome.opendns.com/ with your phone to see if it uses OpenDNS.
