    I have followed all the instructions and setup the 3 DNS entries to the OpenDNS address as ...222.222, ...220.220 and ...222.220 and flushed my DNS and cache on my PC. When I do ipconfig /all I see the 3 OpenDNS entries plus 2 additional DNS entries which I believe are coming from my ISP.

    I am using a Linksys WRTN600 Router and I have also tried this on a Buffalo N600 Router and both are acting the same.

    As a result, my content filtering works sometimes only. Most of the time I am still able to access blocked sites such as Porn, gambling, ..etc.

    Anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Thanks!

    ali4039,

    Check your local DNS settings and ensure that Shaw's DNS resolvers are not set there; https://store.opendns.com/setup/computer/

    Then flush your DNS resolver caches:

    Then re-run the ipconfig /all command; if the issue persists then contact Shaw regarding the use of 3rd party DNS resolvers on your connection.

    Ans since you are seeing these in your OS net config via the magic of DHCP, you can always simply assign static DNS entries for OpenDNS, removing the Shaw IPs.
