RustyKnight Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I've been using OpenDNS for years, I have a free account and have it set to block things I don't want - had it before they started Family Safe. Today when I started my PC I couldn't connect to anything online. My wifi was working fine, checked it with my phone and iPad. Windows said it was connected and had internet. After an hour of head scratching I changed the DNS settings from OpenDNS to the Google ones (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) and things are working fine. I haven't been able to find anything online about problems with OpenDNS. Just wondering if anyone else is having problems and if anyone can recommend and alternative to OpenDNS where I can set what I want blocked - or an alternative to Family Safe.

ExTS Admin AWS Posted April 27, 2021 ExTS Admin Posted April 27, 2021 I haven't used OpenDNS in a while. I use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2. They are public level3 nameservers and work very well. You can set them up as you like with blocking. Quote Need computer support? Then why not join Free PC Help. Register here We are members helping other members.
