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.

I was talking about the step described in the messages from June 24, 2014, 07:25 and from June 24, 2014, 08:09.

No i did not it did not seem clear to me

So, do now!  If something isn't clear, then simply identify it and ask for it.

I used family shield and it's work ,but when someone use vpn application as "psiphon" on android device the porn sites isn't block and steel working ..
is there any way to resolve this problem?

VPN connections are supposed to work this way, you cannot filter or control the traffic that goes through the VPN tunnel with a security tool such as OpenDNS. If you want to provent this you'll need to prevent the VPN connection from occurring in the first place (which OpenDNS may or not be able to do). However, since this is on an Android whatever method you use may not have an effect if the android connects to the internet via it's data plan instead of your Wi-Fi

To prevent from VPN connections being used, you have to find out what domain names, protocols, ports and IP addresses are being used by a VPN connection.  You can block the domain names with OpenDNS. Protocols (TCP, UDP), ports and IP addresses can usually be blocked on the router. This works only as long as the device uses the internet from within your LAN, of course. You do not have control over an e.g. cellular (mobile) connection or WiFi somewhere, as mattwilson9090 said.

@cobalt-phoenix This is with reference to the message posted on May 14 2016.

I would like stop Google showing indecent images/photos?

Thanks.

(I'm the same person as cobalt-phoenix.)

If you want to block Google as a whole with OpenDNS, add google.com to your "always block" list.

If you want to stop only "indecent images/photos" on Google, you'll want to enforce Google's SafeSearch feature.

Please note, this is not an OpenDNS function, but a Google function.

Thanks!

I could not follow how to create CNAME as in the article, so I physically setup Google safe search from the Google settings on my laptop and my I-phone. This did the job but I would rather have this configured on the server. Any suggestions?

More importantly, I added the IP addresses below on my router, but the network is a slow now. Is the third one correct?

208.67.222.123

208.67.220.123

208.67.222.220

Also, Skype is no longer working. It takes very long for connecting, but it does not connect. Is this related to the DNS change or it is a known "side effect"?
Thanks in advance...!

"I would rather have this configured on the server."

What server?  Do you operate a server?  That's fine.  Install a free distro of a DNS server program on it and configure the CNAMEs for Google and YouTube there.

"Is the third one correct?"

This 208.67.222.220 is an OpenDNS resolver address, but in contrast to the *.123 FamilyShield addresses it doesn't filter anything by default unless you configured the filtering in your dashboard.

"the network is a slow now"

Oops, you're now coming up with an item being off-topic in and unrelated to this thread which is about "filter porn".  Regarding slow responses see e.g. https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/239165928

[alyemail]

I meant the 'router" not the server.

I have 3 static DNS spaces in my router. I added three IP addresses below and the intention is to prevent porn in all shapes and forms (videos, pictures, etc.). Can you also let me know if the third IP address is correct and if not what do I need to use instead?

208.67.222.123

208.67.220.123

208.67.222.220

[rotblitz]

Not sure why you ask the same question again.  Read my last message above. I've said everything about 208.67.222.220 already and have nothing to add.
