guidetest.a.id.opendns.com from android phone too many redirects

I have an android phone (samsung stratophere) that I recently performed a factory reset on. Since then, when I am attached to my home network which is using opendns, whatever url I try to visit on the phone's browser tries to load the following URL and I get a message from the browser that "The page contains too many redirects."

http://guidetest.a.id.opendsn.com/?url=guidetest%2Ea%2Eid%2Eopendns%2Ecom%2F%3Furl%3Dguidetest........

If I disconnect the phone from my home network, I can browse just fine.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

if that is an accurate copy, I'm not sure what is happening because it is wrong as far as I can tell (opendsn), with a search string after it. Not sure why it would do a guide test at every page load either.

Your best bet is to open a support ticket here. Include the URL and some information about the browser on your phone. I'm sure they will have further questions ofr tests for you in Support.

Was this "opendsn" possibly a typo when manually typed here?  It couldn't be copied, because "whatever url I try to visit on the phone's browser tries to load the following URL".

So, I think this URL should better read http://guidetest.a.id.opendns.com/?url=guidetest%2Ea%2Eid%2Eopendns%2Ecom%2F%3Furl%3Dguidetest

Yes, it was a typo in the url. I'll submit a support ticket.

I am getting the same thing on my desktop using Safari. “http://guidetest.a.id.opendns.com/?url=guidetest%2Ea%2Eid%2Eopendns%2Ecom%2F%3Furl%3Dguidetest%252Ea%252Eid%252Eopendns%252Ecom%252F%253Furl%253Dgui" and the thing goes on and on. It started about 20 hours ago and only happens on some websites, ALL of which worked perfectly fine days or even hours before. Common websites: my son can't get on pbskids.org.
