Blocking websites in your Home Router using OpenDNS

Hello Everyone, In this video I will show how to block websites using OpenDNS.

[@Kovai672]

Great video. Worked for my Tp Link X20 Deco router. The cloud settings for content filter just dont block anything. Configuring the DNS for IPv4 and setting content filter really helps!!

[@hussainmarzook3694]

tried this at my home. and its working. thanks

[@DHARMYOGCOM]

Can you block a url for a specific website on your wlan?

[@allangweshe5522]

Should you do something to ipv6 dns

[@bohmiiid1063]

i dont have dns option in my router

[@wasanthasamaraweera7083]

useful thanks

[@daniellehunt3449]

I am so at a loss on how to get this to work without having to pay for something. This no longer works on regular netgear routers. You have to purchase one of their parental control routers if you want to do this. It's so frustrating.

Can i set something so i won't have to use the updater

[@ahall6091]

Does this work with TCL linkhub

[@ThreeCrowns]

How can you set a password to prevent you from changing the settings?

I tried with same method of yours it's not working. I'm using act fibernet, how can I block discord...

[@iNetwork365]

[@jedmar27]

can we use this Open DNS to block any vpn software?

[@iNetwork365]

VPN's cannot be blocked. most likely you need to setup host based IPS in your work environment to prevent users from executing or browsing vpn

[@santospoland]

If any computer on the network chooses to use their own DNS on a particular client this will not work.

[@iNetwork365]

can you elaborate briefly ?

[@1978chrono]

this doesn't work for att uverse

[@allangweshe5522]

Mine is not working

[@sstrike9279]

[@fanaticoss12345]

[@sudeep246]

open dns only blocking adult content on laptops not on mobile. plz help

[@iNetwork365]

I think the VPN is turned in the Mobile that's why its not blocking the adult content

[@Noony79]

Check you ip in not static as you will have internet DNS not dhcp. Just forget the connection and reconnect. It might also be using the mobile network not your wifi

[@Zyrock]

@@iNetwork365 is there anyway opendns can block more than 25 domains? or is 25 their limit for all
