Bypass OpenDNS on specific devices

fishwa — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 15:13:52 GMT

I have set my Linksys router (EA7500) to the OpenDNS servers and it is blocking sites as expected. I want to allow the adult users in my household to bypass OpenDNS filtering on their own devices. I used to have a Netgear router that had a utility that allowed me to setup bypass accounts that would do this but I don't see that available for the Linksys router. Does anyone have a suggestion for allowing specific devices on the network to bypass the OpenDNS settings? Thanks.

You configure a different (non-OpenDNS) DNS service on the devices to be exempted from content filtering.

Of course! I just implemented it successfully. Thanks.
