Setting up openDNS in windows 10 error message

[jennsling]

When I try to follow these instructions: https://support.opendns.com/entries/95614747-Windows-10-Configuration-Instructions

I get the following error message:

The DNS server 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 is not a valid IP address

Any other methods of setting this up?

Are you adding the DNS server address to IPv4 or IPv6? It needs to be done to IPv4.

Try providing a screen shot of the error message as well as many of the underlying windows you went through before you got there.

Note, do not use a third party file sharing service to provide the screenshot. Many of us here have those sites blocked in our own OpenDNS settings and we will not remove the block to remove them. Instead click on the "Attach file" link at the bottom of this window and attach the screenshot that way.

You are right, tried it on the IPv6.  So now I've done it on the IPv4, and did not get the error message, but when I clicked on "test your settings" it said you are not using opendns yet.  So not sure what else I need to do to set it up.  Thanks!

Unfortunately the instructions have an errror. :(
You must uncheck also the box before "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)".

The enhanced features like content filtering and stats are not support with IPv6 yet.
