• Multiple DDNS configs?

  I've been using the DDNS option in the UI to sync with no-ip.com, so that I can remotely access my NAS via Wireguard, and this works great. However, my new router no longer supports DDNS without subscription. I need another DDNS client to sync with opendns.com, to get content filtering and parental controls, as my new router has no options for this. Source: 12 months ago

• Evaluating DNSfilter

  We have used opendns.com for this for years. Might take a look at them. Source: about 1 year ago

• What does this error message mean? How/where do I change the URL?

  Can you visit opendns.com on your home network? The problem likely that site is getting blocked, and can't use the API to get the public IP of your box. Source: over 1 year ago

• Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to calyxos.org

  This might be an issue with my DNS provider. I use opendns.com to filter my DNS queries. They're giving the following reasons for blocking the site... Source: over 1 year ago

• Wi-Fi web filtering

  If all users need the same level of filtering, opendns.com is free and works great. You need a way to forward DNS requests to the Open DNS server, such as a typical Windows DNS. Source: about 2 years ago
