There are many topics in the forums that have been covered already, including the following. Please consider reading through this post for a possible solution to the issue/question you may have before making a new forum thread.

#1. If you see an 'Oops!' message at http://welcome.opendns.com but you would like to start using OpenDNS as a DNS resolver on your network then retrace the configuration steps at:
https://store.opendns.com/setup/

#2. If you're a new user and your newly configured filtering options do not appear to be working, do the following:
1. Go back to the configuration tutorials and ensure that your changed DNS settings were saved properly: https://store.opendns.com/setup/
2. Flush your web browser caches and restart your computer *manually*.
http://www.opendns.com/support/article/67
3. Ensure that your current network external IP address (http://www.whatismyip.org/) is registered in your Dashboard Settings page: https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/
4. If you're on a Dynamic IP address, download and install an IP Updater client on one of your computers that uses OpenDNS: http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_downloads/

#3. If you see an error message in the Dashboard or in your Dynamic IP Updater client, read this first: http://www.opendns.com/support/article/83
Following, you may want to open a support ticket, depending on the issue according to the error message: https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/support/

#4a. If you're looking for a network-wide per-user or scheduled filtering solution at Home using OpenDNS, please read: http://www.opendns.com/support/article/125

#4b. For a business or school environment, please contact our sales team: http://www.opendns.com/business-solutions/

#5a. If you would like to filter just one computer on a Dynamic IP network then do the following:
1. De-configure your router and then only configure the one computer to use OpenDNS:
https://store.opendns.com/setup/computer/
2. Flush the web browser caches of the computer and restart it:
http://www.opendns.com/support/article/67
3. Select your content filtering settings:
https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/
4. Install an IP Updater client on the computer that is to be filtered:
http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_downloads/

#5b. If you would like just one computer on a Dynamic IP network be completely exempt from configured OpenDNS filtering settings then do the following:
1. Configure your router and/or all the _other_ computers to use OpenDNS:
https://store.opendns.com/setup/
2. Install an IP Updater client on a computer in your network that is using OpenDNS:
http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_downloads/
3. Configure the one to-be-exempt computer to use another DNS resolver.
4. Flush the web browser caches of all of the networked computers and restart them.
http://www.opendns.com/support/article/67

Note: Enterprise customers can use the Blocked Page Bypass feature to exempt a user, and technically a computer, from all network filtering settings while using OpenDNS at the same time.

#6. If users on your network are circumventing your filtering policies, try one of the following:
1. Talk to the users in question.
2. Block the Proxy/Anonymizer filtering category.
3. Revoke network administrative privileges so they cannot change their DNS settings, and then configure OpenDNS in their DNS settings manually: https://store.opendns.com/setup/computer/
4. Create a rule in your router that forces all outbound DNS traffic to OpenDNS. (This fully depends on whether or not your router supports this feature, some do and some don't.)

#7. If you come across domains that are not tagged in the OpenDNS Database, see:
http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=10433&page=1#Item_1

#8. If you're representing a business, school, or non-profit and are interested in OpenDNS' content filtering, Malware/Botnet protection, and network DNS Statistics solutions, we have trials of OpenDNS Enterprise and per-contact pricing plans available:
http://www.umbrella.com/what-is-umbrella-security/

#9. If you are a paid subscription customer and are experiencing issues with our services, create a support ticket from within your Dashboard first:
https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/support/

#10. If you're experience slower download speeds on iTunes or streaming speeds on Youtube as a result of switching DNS providers to OpenDNS then the issue likely resides with the CDNs involved with routing your requested traffic.

Official statement from Comcast below:

Comcast has identified a software defect on the Arris TG852 and TG862, which may cause problems for a small number of users attempting to use third party DNS services.

Before I switched to Infinity, I used a TP-LINK W8960N on BT's ADSL. It wasn't powerful enough for wireless connections throughout the building. I still have the router, but don't know whether setting it up for use with Infinity will be worth all the effort, as the router didn't seem great as it was.

Should I try to set up the TP-LINK router, buy another one as a slave router (like D-LINK) or try to flush the firmware on the Home Hub?

After installing OpenDNS in my router, my printer became slow. Before copying or printing a page, I had to endure a two minute delay. I finally traced the problem to the printer's network DNS setting. The DNS IP address in the printer was set to the address of my router (xxx.xxx.1.1). The printer kept trying to get the DNS server to map some network name to an IP address but the router did not have that capability. The printer was hanging for two minutes as it futilely waited.

To fix the problem, I set the primary and secondary DNS addresses in the printer to the OpenDNS server addresses that I had configured in my router, namely, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Also, in Print & Scan system preferences, I chose the Brother MFC-9560CDW CUPS driver for that printer. I power-cycled the printer and router. Two-minute delay gone!

Let me know if you had a similar problem and whether or not this fix helped.]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74944 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=74944 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:22:45 +0000

The questions:
1) Is it possible for software/rouge programs/malware to be on a host machine on a network, and then have that software making requests for sites that OpenDNS then rejects? Or do the website requests definitely represent a user -- a person on my network -- doing searches, clicking on links, or typing in the URLS for these sites?
2) Why would someone day after day make these requests when they do not go through? OpenDNS seems to be very bulletproof whenever I test it, and the log shows all these sites as being blocked. By why would someone keep making the attempd day after day?
