Filter porn

[dps0001]

Good day,

I've enabled the free home filtering option.  However it doesn't seem to filter porn.  Furthermore would I like to enable this without having the access, to disable the settings.

Are you using OpenDNS at all?  http://welcome.opendns.com/ 
If not, correct the configuration of the OpenDNS resolver addresses: https://store.opendns.com/start

Is your IP address information correctly assigned with your dashboard network?  https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/ 
If not, correct this.  You may need to run an Updater further on.

"Furthermore would I like to enable this without having the access, to disable the settings."

Not sure what you exactly want to say here.  If you don't have access, you can't enable or disable anything...

Hi,

Thank you for the prompt response.
Yes, I am using the Family Shield Router configuration, where my D-Link device is configured with the specified DNS addresses.

I am ashamed to say this, the reason for me not wanting access, to change anything it due to the fact that I am a addict.  I want to block it wherever I can.  Without having a way to remove the configuration.

I hope you can help.

"I am using the Family Shield Router configuration, where my D-Link device is configured with the specified DNS addresses."

As I understand now, you want to use FamilyShield with  the resolver addresses 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123.  Ensure that you used only these addresses and that all DNS fields are filled.

You do not need any dashboard configuration with FamilyShield unless you want stats and want blocked more than just adult content.

If you have flushed both, your local resolver cache and your browser cache, then www.exampleadultsite.com should be blocked for you. 
If still not, post the complete plain text output of the following commands here: 

nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.123

nslookup www.exampleadultsite.com.

"not wanting access, to change anything"

No problem.  As the configuration is on your router, ask a good friend to protect your router with a strong password only known to him or her.

If you are using our default DNS servers (208.67.222.222 an 208.67.220.220) only internet level malware, botnets, and phishing is blocked by default.  You would need to configure custom content filtering for your network in the dashboard to block porn with this service.  If you would like to block porn without having to change settings as rotblitz mentioned above you will want to use our FamilyShield DNS settings 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123 which block Pornography, Nudity, Proxy/Anonymizer, and Sexuality by default.

I thank-you all very much.  It works perfectly! 

God bless!

I just enabled the family filter DNS on our Cable One router due to our autistic 14yo grandson's switching between Baby Einstein and Lonely Bitches .... thanks so much for helping us put up the good fight against that mind rotting porn garbage. We know things slip through but it wont' do so here without a fight. The Smith Family is very grateful.

I did block block Pornography, Nudity, Proxy/Anonymizer, and Sexuality and seems to work fine. nut if I search google for porn images its still not blocked. Please advise.

Simple: you didn't block Google.  You need to block Google to block Google and porn presented by it.  What else?

I need help I did all of the steps for windows 10 and still wont block anything

@jbc944 What steps did you follow? Either cut and paste or provide a link to them so we know what you are talking about. Have you confirmed that the domains that you are concerned about are categorized as pornography? Have you followed any of the troubleshooting or testing steps that were discussed in this thread that you posted in?

[jbc944]

I Followed the windows 10 guide.  Can it be be done through a netgear extender?

[mattwilson9090]

@jbc944 What Windows 10 guide are you referring to? Again either cut and paste or provide a link so we have some idea what you are talking about.

And again, have you confirmed that the domains that you are concerned about are categorized as pornography? Have you followed any of the troubleshooting or testing steps that were discussed in this thread that you posted in?

What would a netgear extender have to do with OpenDNS?

People here are willing to help you, but you have to be a part of the process, including answering questions that are asked of you, and including enough information so that we know what is going on and have some clue what you are talking about. If you answer the questions that have already been posed to you specifically, or to others in this thread we'll be able to do that.

[rotblitz]

Again, you provided zero information.  You need to follow the steps above in this thread, although they are two years old.  How else could one see where the problem lies?
