Adult site blocking enabled, but I still see adult sites

If you have turned on the adult site blocking feature on your network in your OpenDNS account but notice an adult site still shows up, make sure you have done the following:

  1. Confirm you are using OpenDNS by visiting http://welcome.opendns.com.
  2. Flushed your browser cache, and in some cases, flushed the local resolver cache on your computer.
  3. Waited approximately 5-10 minutes for your network settings to propagate to our servers.
  4. Checked our Adult Site Domain Checker for the site in question, http://www.opendns.com/cache/adult .
  5. Verified your network IP is up to date in your OpenDNS account, in the case of dynamic IPs, and that you are currently using the IP displayed in your network. If you are browsing from a different IP address, your preferences will not be in effect.
