OpenDNS Not blocking Playboy.com

I had just changed my ip address with opendns this morning and whenever I make a change like this the first thing I do is check that my filtering is working. Well some porn sites are blocked, but playboy.com isn't one of them, even though I have nudity, porn and sexuality all listed as filtered.  After a couple hours I then tried adding playboy.com and www.playboy.com to the block list. Again after an hour or so its still not blocking. It does block videos.playboy.com. 

I did a couple tests after reading other threads - here is output:

Last login: Fri Dec 6 09:44:12 on ttys001
ES-Jhatz:~ jhatz$ nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com
Server: 10.176.0.20
Address: 10.176.0.20#53

Non-authoritative answer:
debug.opendns.com text = "server 7.chi"
debug.opendns.com text = "flags 20 0 2f6 fc0000000000"
debug.opendns.com text = "id 18795257"
debug.opendns.com text = "source 64.8.142.94:51469"

Authoritative answers can be found from:

ES-Jhatz:~ jhatz$ nslookup www.playboy.com
Server: 10.176.0.20
Address: 10.176.0.20#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.playboy.com canonical name = playboy.com.
Name: playboy.com
Address: 66.254.102.216

Hoping someone at opendns reads this and can look into it. Thanks!

Is your IP address 64.8.142.94 registered with your OpenDNS network? https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/
Most likely not.

"I then tried adding playboy.com and www.playboy.com to the block list. ...its still not blocking"

Sure this cannot help if you "have nudity, porn and sexuality all listed as filtered." already.
http://domain.opendns.com/playboy.com

After all, I would say that 18795257 is not your OpenDNS network ID, and your IP address 64.8.142.94 is registered with another user's network, so the other settings take place.  Register your IP address with your dashboard network, then flush the caches, and the symptom should be gone,

Where do I find out what my OpenDNS network ID is?

You visit https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/ again.
The link of your network's IP address (settings) and the stats icon contains your OpenDNS network ID in the URL, e.g.
https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/18795257/
https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/18795257

Nope - had to be something else then as my url is https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/18795257/content_filtering.

I've since put in place another webfilter to handle this regardless.

It seems this is an account specific issue, not a general one.  So raise a support ticket.  Only OpenDNS staff can look into your account.
