You have two options:

Network > WAN

X Use These DNS Servers
Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220

- or -

DHCP > DHCP Settings

Primary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS: 208.67.220.220

The first option is preferred if it works.

In addition to Rotblitz's recommendations if you need more visual directions page 22 of this user guide shows where you can configure static WAN DNS settings if you have a dynamic IP http://www.tp-link.com/Resources/document/TL-WR841N_V8_User_Guide.pdf. You add the Primary and Secondary DNS setting listed above.

I came to this site for a tutorial by TecnoBlog.Net site, which says that when everything is set up right you enter on next page (http://www.opendns.com/welcome/) and has the following image appears. .
I did everything the guy up there said, and went on that page and did not show that message can help me some more, I'll put some pictures here of how it is configured on the router and on TCP/IPv4.
If anyone else can help me set up just right to the point image of Welcome min appear to be very happy.

Thanks in advance, Marcus

There's nothing wrong with your router configuration. Configuring the OpenDNS resolver addresses on the computer is not necessary.

The test page is http://welcome.opendns.com/

If it does not work, it is likely that your ISP redirects your DNS lookups to their own DNS service. To see this you'll want to copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following command here (after having opened a Command Prompt window: cmd):

nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220

You didn't enter it correctly. Try again.

nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220

This shouldn't be too difficult.

Please provide screenshots (using the links on this forum, not a third-party file sharing service) of these pages/settings you are referring to, especially the one that displays "oops"

Also, please copy and paste the output from the command that rotblitz provided in his reply to this thread a year ago.

hi!

im using ppoe connection (russian) and it doesnt work with this method!

Re: Help Configuration TP-Link

rotblitz — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 14:04:05 GMT

This is right, PPPoE/Russian doesn't seem to offer entering DNS resolver addresses.
As always in these cases, this leaves you with the following options:

Replace this router by another where you can enter DNS resolver addresses.
Flash the router with alternative firmware where you can enter DNS resolver addresses.
Put another inner router behind this outer router where you configure DNS resolver addresses on the inner router.
Configure the OpenDNS resolver addresses on the devices instead of on the router.

The latter is the easiest, not requiring any additional hardware or software.

Can't seem to get this to work in my DSL (dynamic private ip) line with a TPlink wifi router. Already configured DDNS. Still able to access bad sites. Here's the output of my NSLookup -

nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220

Server: 208.67.220.220

Address: 208.67.220.220#53

I use a TPLink MR3220 and PPPoE as authentication method

cobalt-phoenix — Wed, 11 May 2016 16:48:52 GMT

Your command output indicates that you can use OpenDNS if you're actually using it. I.e. your ISP doesn't hi-jack your DNS traffic.

"Already configured DDNS."

Why this? This has nothing to do with using OpenDNS. Same you could have said: "I already cleaned my car and my shoes".

Post the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic command:

nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

Pls ignore this request, I realized the one causing the issue is because my free OpenDNS account for the home is just for one network only. I'm trying to add another broadband line .

I also had a wrong assumption that to get it to work with dynamic IP, that DDNS should be enabled in the router

I use TP- Link 300M Wireless N Router (Model No. TL-WR841N v10.0) and my ISP (alliance cable broadband) gave me Static IP. I tried all the way I notice in the forum but nothing is changes in welcome page. What am I doing wrong? I don't have much knowledge about Static and Dynamic IP. I just want to add web filter to increase productivity and help my family to avoid unnecessary content. Please help me to configure my router.

@luqifar We have no idea what you've actually done, so we can't tell you what you've done wrong.

You either need to tell us what you've actually done, and how things are currently configured, or, since there don't seem to be specific instructions for your router model, begin following the directions from this page https://signup.opendns.com/homefree. If you haven't already created an account it will step you through creating one, otherwise you can sign up with the account you already have and continue from there.

@luqifar
"What am I doing wrong?"

You don't read thoroughly enough. 😉 Else you would have posted the command outputs of:

nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220

"I tried all the way I notice in the forum"

What exactly was this "all the way" you tried? You may post a screen shot of the related router page.

"I don't have much knowledge about Static and Dynamic IP. "

Well a static IP address is static and doesn't change, and a dynamic IP address is dynamic and therefore can change at any time. But this is rather unrelated to configuring OpenDNS. The only difference is that you should run an update client if you've got a dynamic IP address.

My router is TP-link TL-WR841n PPoE Russian. I've replaced firmware with DDWRT. I've done everything on this page http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/OpenDNS (including DNS-O-Matic for users with a Dynamic IP) and nothing works.

I dont have static IP, it's dynamic. To have static IP you should pay for that.

This is command output of nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220
