dear all ,
Good day
first I have a tp-link router and its model is TL-WR740N , I have done the entering of DNS server , I put it like this
DHCP >> DHCP settings >> Primary DNS 208.67.222.123 and Secondary DNS 208.67.220.123
and also I have account in openDNS site , but the the opendns services don't work on yet , So could you please help me
Hint : my WAN connection type is Dynamic IP -
Just in case you don't know, if you use the FamilyShield IP addresses 208.67.*.123, you don't need an account and dashboard settings at all. These have pre-defined content filtering already.
When you say "the opendns services don't work on yet", does this mean you get "Oops!" at the test page http://welcome.opendns.com/ ?
If so, post the complete plain text output of the following command here:
nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220Thankful People: zelus, marwan-sherri -

yes Mr. rotblitz
at first I was using FamilyShield the i changed it to Basic openDNS 208.67.222.222
and 208.67.220.220 but also it didn't work , and as you said I get "Oops!" at the test page.
by the way , what do you mean by " post the complete plain text output of the following command here:
nslookup -type=txt which.opendns.com. 208.67.220.220"
how can this help my issue ? -
This can help to identify your issue.
In case of Windows: You open a command prompt window: Start > Run > cmd
Then you enter (or copy & paste) the command above, exactly as you see it.
Then you right-click the commmand prompt window, mark all, right-click again, and paste it here.Thankful People: marwan-sherri -

You need to clear your dns cache.
try the following:
1. reboot your computer
2. Open a web browser
3. visit: www.opendns.com/welcome
you should now see the Welcome to openDNS message! -
"You need to clear your dns cache."
Nice guessing, need to be proved...
My guessing was that his ISP redirects his lookups to their own DNS service... -

“visit: www.opendns.com/welcome”
Wrong. Visit http://welcome.opendns.com and it will redirect you to the one you listed if and only if you are using OpenDNS.
If you go straight to www.opendns.com/welcome it will always tell you that you are using OpenDNS regardless of whether you actually are.
