OpenDNS services: Content filtering level keeps getting reset to none

    Hello,
    I set up the content filtering to be low but after 24 hours it is set back to none. I changed the password on a work computer (not a home computer in case there is a ks logger) and I know my son cannot retrieve the password to log in and change this. Any suggestions?

    "I know my son cannot retrieve the password to log in and change this."
    Also, he would be certainly clever enough to change it back, so that you did not become aware of this, isn't it?
    Well, my suggestion is: there is someone else who knows the password as well. Btw, level "low" doesn't do a lot except protecting against phishing sites. And this is almost covered by today's browsers already anyway. So there is not really much harm. I would propose to change the level to "custom", selecting a certain mix of categories to see how it develops further.

    And ah, the password is also stored in the Updater, but encrypted. However, if one runs a network sniffer or debugger, it may be possible to catch the password out of network traffic or computer memory.

    Don't allow your browser to save the password/username so that you can automatically log in.
