Phones Apps Are Not Getting Filtered with IPv6 setup on eero WiFi
Hello,
Recently installed the eero WiFi system and needed to enable IPv6 on it so my home office computer can get enough bandwidth. When I did this, all of the Apps (YouTube and Roblox) on phones (iPhones and Androids) are not being blocked by OpenDNS including adding the URL's set using the individual domain filter. All of the other devices (Roku's and computers are being blocked). Anyone run into this and have a fix or suggestion?

OpenDNS does not provide content filtering when using IPv6. See [here].
We, unfortunately, need to disable IPv6 at the eero Gateway to force all internet traffic to occur over the IPv4 network so that content filtering can occur.

rotblitz Are you saying that the IPv6 addresses you listed above support content filtering?
If so, then the KB article needs to be updated.
It currently says:
"Currently, it is not possible for users to register IPv6 addresses in the OpenDNS Dashboard. Custom content filtering cannot be set for IPv6 traffic."
Also, does the OpenDNS Updater application support IPv6 so that OpenDNS know the IPv6 of the network to apply the correct content filtering?

rotblitz What do you mean by "are in the process to support this". Does it work today or not?
Also, based on this, my original comments are correct and content filtering is not supported when using IPv6: https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/245247727-What-are-the-IPv6-addresses-for-OpenDNS-
