So, "network" in the context of OpenDNS means a public IP address where your private network is behind. Therefore yes, select a /32 network, because it is anyway not possible to have more than one network with newer free OpenDNS accounts. And your ISP certainly also only assigns you one public IP address unless you've got a Multi-WAN product and router.]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81895#Comment_81895 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81895#Comment_81895 Sat, 26 May 2012 18:42:46 +0000 Red Prince http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81939#Comment_81939 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81939#Comment_81939 Sun, 27 May 2012 13:51:53 +0000 parttanna http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81941#Comment_81941 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81941#Comment_81941 Sun, 27 May 2012 14:17:37 +0000 rotblitz
In an ideal case it should be the one you see on the upper left corner here,
or at http://myip.dnsomatic.com/
or by the command: nslookup myip.opendns.com.]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81947#Comment_81947 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81947#Comment_81947 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:24:55 +0000 Red Prince http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81955#Comment_81955 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81955#Comment_81955 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:24:42 +0000 mwp101 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81965#Comment_81965 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81965#Comment_81965 Sun, 27 May 2012 21:19:01 +0000 maintenance
No, absolutely not. And you never run an updater in networks you do not own.

"When I first set up OpenDNS, I did not see anything that said I could set it up on OS X Lion."

Either the router or every computer in your network must have the OpenDNS addresses configured. If you set the addresses on individual computers, then you must set it up on your laptop as well. I don't expect that the directions for Lion would vary much from the instructions for the previous iteration of OS X. Regardless, I'm certain you can find your network configuration in Lion.]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81971#Comment_81971 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81971#Comment_81971 Sun, 27 May 2012 21:53:10 +0000 xecrav OpenDNS works at the network settings level, thus it works with all operating systems. If you have set up OpenDNS at the router level then all connected computers will use the DNS IPs recommended by the router, in this case OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220

Now if you setup OpenDNS in a specific computer (locally) [System Preferences/Network/AirPort/Advance/DNS] then only that computer will be using OpenDNS. You will have to individually set it up on each computer.


--If you take your laptop across the country--

Q: "if I take my laptop with Lion across the country, is it still protected by my home OpenDNS network?"

A: The answer to this is No. Your OpenDNS Dashboard settings are tied to your IP address [e.g. parental controls]. Nevertheless, you will still be enjoying OpenDNS fast DNS resolution and phishing protection. For on the go OpenDNS usage you must set OpenDNS on your computer's network DNS settings]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81981#Comment_81981 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81981#Comment_81981 Sun, 27 May 2012 22:28:24 +0000 rotblitz Are you the same person as @parttanna, or did you just hi-jack someone else's thread?

"if I take my laptop with Lion across the country, is it still protected by my home OpenDNS network?"

Yes, if you don't connect directly to the internet, but through a VPN to your home network, and you have the OpenDNS server addresses configured on the router there at home.

General rule of thumb: OpenDNS is for *your* networks, not for your devices in other networks.]]> http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81997#Comment_81997 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=14487&Focus=81997#Comment_81997 Mon, 28 May 2012 01:54:22 +0000 mwp101
