For the past 2 hours I have been searching the Forums for an answer why Web Content Filtering is not working for me.

Attached are 3 screenshots that Show ínfo which was usually requested in other Topics that were about this issue.'

I also flushed the dns and cleared all browser data. But it just won't block any site.

So, they do this on normal consumer connections for security reasons to prevent that you get redirected to wrong IP's.

Business connections are not affected by this as there they expect to have a qualified admin with hardwarefirewalls, etc.

Not a good idea to hinder other security services with this "security measure".  Because OpenDNS does exactly this: they return their own IP address in cases where you want to have domains blocked.  I.e. they redirect you to their block page.

If you cannot opt out from this caching,  it's up to you to either order the business product, or to move to another ISP.
