    Hi,

    I am using a Free WiFi Services in Sarawak,Malaysia called deConneXion. The problems is that I want to use opendns but the problem is the WiFi Provider give me a private ip address instead of public ip address.

    All users in Malaysia share the same public ip address but not private ip address.

    So, i wonder if there is services for multiple user with different pc, where each user use different filtering setting of opendns but use the same public ip address?

    Regards,

    Dohbet

    Ah, so everyone using that ISP has a private IP inside the ISP's network, and a shared public IP?

    You most likely will not be able to use an OpenDNS account or the nameservers. DNS only "sees" a public, internet-facing IP (just like everything else on the internet).

    even though is a shared public IP address, you still be able to use OpenDNS, just point your pc or router to openDNS server. your DNS request will still be forwarded to opendns server and return the queries to you. However, to use the OpenDNS filtering feature, you must register the internet facing IP address that your internet traffic leaves, not sure this will violate any rules set by your ISP but better double check. If your ISP blocks external DNS request from inside ISP private network, you can forget about using openDNS.

    One shouldn't do this in case of a shared public IP address, as other OpenDNS users would then be forced to use someone else's OpenDNS settings. If OpenDNS become aware of such shared IP addresses, they block it (or the related range) from being able to be added to an OpenDNS network.
