How to unblock a domain
If you'd like to unblock a domain, such as www.myspace.com, go to the Dashboard. Go to the Settings tab. Click Block Domains on the left-hand side. Check the box to the right of the domain that you want to unblock. If you don't see the domain you're looking for and you have more than one network, try selecting a different network using the drop-down menu on the left-hand side. If you have more than one network and want to unblock the domain for all of your networks, check the Delete from all networks box. Click the Delete button. Wait 5 minutes for your preferences to be pushed to all OpenDNS servers, and clear your local caches (browser, computer, router, firewall, etc.) before worrying that the domain is still available.
