Hi, 

I just realised that OpenDNS isn't blocking websites anymore. 

THe IP is correct in the Dashboard so everything seems to be fine.  

I've posted some commands below.

 

Could anyone tell me what my next steps should be?

Thanks

 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220
Server: resolver2.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.220.220

opendns.com
primary name server = auth1.opendns.com
responsible mail addr = noc.opendns.com
serial = 1592721205
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)

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> nslookup whoami.akamai.net
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222

Name: whoami.akamai.net
Address: 2001:2040:c001:203::202

 

 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> netsh interface ip show dns

Configuration for interface "Ethernet 2"
DNS servers configured through DHCP: 208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Register with which suffix: Primary only

  Something redirects your DNS traffic to another DNS service: your router, an app like AVG or Avast, or your ISP. If the latter, call them to opt out from the redirection.

  But should https://welcome.opendns.com/ show the everything is ok checkmark if that was the case?

  This is the minimum prerequisite for using OpenDNS. It will not show OK if your DNS traffic is redirected.

  So by seeing this checkmark my DNS is correct but not blocking anything?

  Yes, your DNS queries go to OpenDNS, but it doesn’t prove that your dashboard settings are being used. Your IP address must be correctly registered at your dashboard. You said that this is the case.

  Btw, showing the checkmark is in contradiction to your command outputs. Did you both on the same device?  This should not be possible.  So I ran out of ideas.

  Your DNS traffic is being logged by OpenDNS, at least from some devices. So it must have gone to OpenDNS.

  Do the commands still produce the same output?
