Regarding web filtering and blocking of specific domains

Respected Roblitz, i wanted to know about this below note

Note about DNS forwarding

If you are forwarding requests to OpenDNS, domain blocking may not work properly if the domain's address is in your forwarder's cache

SO how do i know if i am forwarding requests to OpenDNS. By the way i use windows 10.


AGAIN another question is i have enabled the ipv6 settings in my wifi sections because if i close that my some applications dosen't work . Is there any role of ipv6 in preventing the web filtering and by the way i have also not specified any specific ipv6 DNS as i don't know the specific ipv6 address of OpenDNS.

You flush your local caches to purge domain names from it.

If you didn’t configure or disable IPv6, you likely do not use OpenDNS.

I don't know the IPv6 address of open dns and i have a dynamic IP which really changes very frequently ( although i use the client service for that) and my ip really changes very quick sometimes in a minute or even in seconds and again fluctuates back to original ip and again to something else. And like now as i was typing the client ip updater of opendns opened up and my ip adress chnages again this also really sucks.......... plzz help me with this also plzz explain in expanded form and yes with simple english plzz roblitz you are my guy...............plzzzzz

Configure your IPv6 settings with DNS server addresses from the following list:
::ffff:d043:dede ::ffff:d043:dcdc ::ffff:d043:dedc ::ffff:d043:dcde

IP addresses are assigned by ISPs. Only your ISP can help you with the fast changing IP address.

Ensure that the related domains are really categorized in the way you expect. If not, you can blacklist them one by one.
