Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I've been using OpenDNS for years, I have a free account and have it set to block things I don't want - had it before they started Family Safe.
Today when I started my PC I couldn't connect to anything online. My wifi was working fine, checked it with my phone and iPad. Windows said it was connected and had internet.
After an hour of head scratching I changed the DNS settings from OpenDNS to the Google ones (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) and things are working fine.
I haven't been able to find anything online about problems with OpenDNS. Just wondering if anyone else is having problems and if anyone can recommend and alternative to OpenDNS where I can set what I want blocked - or an alternative to Family Safe.
