unable to unblock hola.org

[mocino]

Hi

I am using OpenDNS Home.

I wanted to use hola.org... understand it is classified under Proxy/Anonymizer

I have unblocked Proxy/Anonymizer in webcontent filtering... flushed the dns cache.... but it is still being block... anyone could advise?

Copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands here:

   nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

   nslookup hola.org.

Just by chance, do you have the FamilyShield addresses 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123 configured on your router 192.168.1.1?  These generally block the Proxy/Anonymizer category, and you cannot unblock it.  Use the normal OpenDNS resolver addresses instead: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.220, 208.67.220.222

Yes. I have the FamilyShield address..

So I cannot customise web/content filtering to unblock Proxy/Anonymizer? 

Thanks for the tip

I thought this was clear from my previous message already.  Again in other words: You can customize content filtering except for the categories covered by FamilyShield which are adult related ones and Proxy/Anonymizer.

That said, if you want to unblock hola.org (or not block Proxy/Anonymizer category at all), you must use the normal OpenDNS resolver addresses.  Alternatively, you can edit your local hosts file to input hola.org related domain names and their IP addresses like this:

   54.225.121.9     hola.org  www.hola.org
   107.22.193.119  hola.org  www.hola.org
   .....

You can then circumvent OpenDNS just for hola.org on just this device.
