Using OpenDNS IP's - Directed to Phisihing Page for Valid URL

[ron7]

Good Evening,

I have a Ubuntu server running DHCP service. I have DNS pointed to OpenDNS. All was working well until today. I now get directed to a OpenDNS page claiming the URL I'm trying to go to is a phishing site. I go there often or rather used to go there. I can change to Google DNS and have no problems.

Seems requirements have changed when using OpenDNS now? I don't need any services other than resolving the URL to IP. I'll continue to search the forum. If anyone has this new experience please send along your fix while I peruse the forum.

Regards,

Ron

"Directed to Phisihing Page for Valid URL"

Also phishing URLs are valid URLs.

Unfortunately you didn't say what URL you are referring to, so I cannot comment on this.  You may try to find out yourself at www.phishtank.com why this is classified as phishing.

"I can change to Google DNS and have no problems."

Sure, Google Public DNS doesn't protect against phishing, unlike OpenDNS, therefore you can access the site with Google Public DNS.

"Seems requirements have changed when using OpenDNS now?"

No, never.  Phishing protection as default was nearly from begin.  If you want to have pure DNS, no problem.  You visit your dashboard and disable the protection under Web Content Filtering and under Security.

"I don't need any services other than resolving the URL to IP."

This does not exist in the world.  A URL is not associated with an IP address, only domain names may be associated with an IP address.  And I told you how you get OpenDNS to do this for you.
