Adult site blocking and computer-specific preferences

OpenDNS preferences operate based on your IP address. If your network (whether one computer or several) shares a single public IP address, then all computers on the network share the same OpenDNS preferences. One public IP, whether dynamic or static, is common.

To get different adult site blocking preferences on different computers on your network, therefore, each one needs its own public IP address. Internal IP addresses will not help. Internal IP addresses often start with 10. or 192.168.
