OpenDNS Question

[Ritzie]

Do I need to set the custom dns to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 or the WAN dns? If I set the WAN dns to the following mentioned above and specify my pc in the DNS filter to no filtering, I get blocked and cannot access certain sites. However, if I set it in the custom DNS it works fine. All PC's not set in DNS filtering are being block to certain sites. PC's set in DNS filtering set to no filtering works fine.

WAN dns is for everyone that connect to your router. Using DNS filtering give your more control which device will use it. What router are you using?

Just go into AiProtection---> DNS filtering add OpenDNS home to the devices you want using it. OpenDNS home is config to those addresses.

I am using opendns home. Under client list I have certain pcs set to non-filtering and have 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 under custom dns. The rest aren't in there. So your saying that I don't need to add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 because opendns home is already set.

I just added opendns to my dnsmasq.conf.

here is my dnsmasq.conf for those who are curious.

I am overiding the entire config (when doing this remember if you adjust dhcp stuff, you need to adjust the overide config to match) so not using the .add function for this. Note it uses the last specified server first so order is reversed.

That's what I'm saying.
