Tweety.Abd Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hey,So I've got news from my ISP that it does support third party DNS. So I'd like to know how to setup OpenDNS on my router. I've configured my router's DNS and changed it to OpenDNS, but I still get error that I'm not using OpenDNS when I test it. I've tried many times, including change my computer's DNS as well as my router's DNS, but it still does not work, even after multiple computer and browser cache flushes and reboots. So I'd like to know how I can set up OpenDNS on my router so that it's effective on all home network devices.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweety.Abd Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 I believe OpenDNS does not support all routers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetPirate Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's actually the other way around, OpenDNS supports all routers but All routers do not support OpenDNS.Tomato firmware supports opendns directly but if you are getting problems try DNS-O-Matic, it's offers more compatibility because some routers do not have support for SSL Dynamic DNS connections and OpenDNS requires SSL. Tomato firmware is fully capable of using the SSL connection that OpenDNS requiresbut DNS-O-Matic does not require SSL so more routers are able to use it.I see your screen shot, you did not input the network name, that box is empty. You need to type in the network label you assigned to that network on opendns and it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeetPirate Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You enter that url yourself or was it automatically set? It is the wrong url. It should be this. https://updates.opendns.com/nic/update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure how to work with DNS-O-Matic. I signed in on there with my OpenDNS account, and selected my host name, downloaded an update client, but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
