Does anyone use a "DNS dummy VPN" app with family sheild? Dummy DNS VPNs work like a VPN, but are only used for UDP VPN traffic. Using a "dummy VPN" DNS app would work for family shield, but you won't get domain history stats.
If you understand how opendns works, you know that moving between wifi networks won't work well with opendns (non family shield). One example is at school. Even if opendns updater updates the school ip address, other students could also be using opendns. DNS is a very basic protocol. There is no way for opendns to differentiate between users on the same network. This would cause you to see DNS data from other users or your child's data could show up on another opendns dashboard. This is why Mr. rotblitz mentions family shield in the following thread.

The reason I am asking this question is to see if there is interest in a FREE iOS/android app like this or to see if anyone is able to do this already with existing apps. The app wouldn't be specific to family shield opendns. It would support whatever DNS server you choose to use.
One issue is how to prevent your child from simply turning the app off. On iOS, this can easily be solved by making the app age requirements for 17+ This will allow a parent to control the app in iOS parental controls. Android may also support that, I haven't tested that.
Ping me here or DM me @mabrafoo if you are interested.
