Custom Set (overrides other sets, and would replace blocked domains)
List domains you would like to allow or block

This way you can have your white list and black list in the same section.

Also I agree with K Carey,

It would be nice to be able to put in a password to override the filtering when needed, Any Ideas?

Adult blocking is a nice step since most of those sites are also famous for using some real evil browser exploits whenever they are able to.

OpenDNS needs sort of “Black hat” list from somewhere, a credible source and should enable that too.

You would say “well let them don’t visit crack sites”, the “crack sites” also sometimes crack search engines to display their results instead of legitimate software. E.g. a scenario would be, non technical Graphics Artist looking for Adobe Photoshop CS3 help and hits crack site instead.

Forget everything, there is famous and evil “iFrame” stories. You can search a credible site like Securityfocus.com or SANS for “iframe” and “exploit” and be amazed,no less.

I just want fast DNS service. And I’m no longer getting that. I think you guys are becoming another one of those services that lose site of their original mission. And wasn’t that fast and reliable DNS service?

Fantastic Service!!!! As we have 3 small boys (ages 3, 5 & 7) I was trying to figure out a way to eliminate porn, etc from their accidental internet viewing experience / wanderings. I am very happy!

However, if my wife wants to buy something from Victoria’s Secret it requires me going into the OpenDNS setup to temporarily allow viewing of that site. It would be nice if there was a way for her to enter a password (made in account setup) on the OpenDNS blocked page that would allow her access to the site to buy what she wanted. Is there any thought on adding this feature in the future?

Thanks again!

here’s another Adult Site Blocking category suggestion that’s related to ATF, “drugs” (both legal & illegal: controlled substances, pharmaceuticals & narcotics)

I’d also like to suggest adding “Dating Services” as a category to the Adult Site Blocking.

I’ve left a message on the OpenDNS forums (adult content) asking how do we communicate a porn site (really bad) that is not being blocked by iGuard/iPrism (whatever)? Explicit movies/pictures exist on the home page.
I have also sent emails to iPrism support to ask the same question.

I blocked out the name on my forums post. But you can check it out. I have also used your cache-checking link to confirm that “they” think the site is not an “adult content” site. They should look again.
