I've already made a post on this however I did not make that one clear
I have configured the OpenDNS DNS servers on my router is there a method to bypass the website or change the DNS server on a specific computer?

To bypass what? What is it that you are trying to accomplish?
12-17-2017 08:22 PM
I want to bypass the blocking on the website I've blocked

OpenDNS Home does not include features such as an "unclock" code or anything else that would temporarily override or bypass your block settings.
You have two options, unblock the domain in question, or configure the device that you want to access this website so that it is not using OpenDNS.
There are different ways that this is addressed in different pay products, but it's not a part of the free, home, product.

"is there a method to bypass the website or change the DNS server on a specific computer?"
Yes, you say it. You bypass OpenDNS by configuring another DNS service on this specific computer, as also mattwilson9090 said.

Yes, I still have one question how do I configure the DNS service specifically on my device? I have already tried changing the IPv4 servers but that dosen't work.

You didn't say what kind of device you have or what operating system it's running so it's impossible to tell you this. In general you would find this somewhere under network settings.
If you want something more specifically use whatever you use to search the internet (Bing, Google, whatever), and search for "changing dns servers for xxxxx" where xxxx is the kind of device you have or the operating system it's running.
As for changing the IPv4 servers, I have no idea how you did that or what you mean by "it doesn't work" so I can't comment any further.

I currently run a Windows 10 operating system and the IPv4 source can be found below

I believe this section is the part which explains why I cant change DNS services
This will not work if your router has been configured to block all DNS requests except OpenDNS on Port 53.

Great, these are the instructions you need to use. Does something still not work? What exactly is the evidence for not working?

I want to see if theres a way to bypass this (video below)

OpenDNS is a DNS based service. As such it knows nothing about websites, webpages, URL's, content, videos, or anything else that is not only and strictly a domain. It can do nothing about the specific video you linked to unless you were to blacklist or whitelist either youtube.com or www.youtube.com (or block the categories it belongs to).
As for bypassing, we've already given you general instructions on your options. Unless you have specific questions there really isn't anything else we can tell you.
