Google Duo

[nicholashayman1]

Hi,

Google's new video calling app on phones Google Duo doesn't work when I'm using OpenDNS. I'm using web filtering on OpenDNS. I'm presuming something that the app needs to communicate is being blocked however Duo's website is not blocked https://duo.google.com/ . Because it's a phone app I can not use a DNS sniffer.

"Because it's a phone app I can not use a DNS sniffer."

But you can investigate your blocked domains stats to find the related domain names:
https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/all/blockeddomains

Google use so many domains, different from google.com.

Also, you can use a DNS sniffer while installing it on a computer and sending the DNS queries from your smart device through this computer.  Programs you need on the computer are:
