I'm seeing a difference in the filtering of adult sites between FamilyShield and OpenDNS Basic. With FS, if I do a Google Image search on "sex" and then click one of the explicit images presented, the resulting page is blocked as expected. When I changed to Basic (because I wanted the more advanced control it offers) I set my filtering level to "High" and tested again, expecting the same sort of results as FS. However, the site loaded, despite being clearly explicit and being filtered by FamilyShield. The test URLs (www.internetbadguys.com etc) or browsing to well known sites (e.g. www.porn.com) indicate that OpenDNS is working, as they are blocked.

Is it intentional that the behaviour of these two filtering methods is different?

I prefer the filtering outcomes of FamilyShield, but I would like the control that Basic gives me. Is it possible that I can have my cake and eat it too?

Please find below my config if this is of any interest here. FYI, I flushed the browser cache (FF10.0.1) prior to flushing the resolver cache.

Thank you.

OK... but I don't know what categories are blocked in FamilyShield. I think that in this case though that's unlikely the issue - this is clearly adult content, I'm not sure what other category it could possibly fall into. I've checked the Knowledge Base but can't find any documentation on how FamilyShield is configured under the covers.

So I can test this further, can I find out exactly what categories FamilyShield blocks? That way I can set my category blocks the same way in Basic and see what happens.

Cheers.

Looks like things have sorted themselves out overnight... maybe some things take more than three minutes to propagate.

Thanks for your help.
