OpenDNS Service

Hi all

I setup the OpenDNS in the service area. The test says it is ok. Including my network name.

But if I go to OpenDNS page to see my requests I don't see any request.

I checked and the public IP is correct. It's like I am using the right DNS IPs from Cisco, but not my real account.

Is there a way to troubleshoot it ?

AFAIK, the OpenDNS test in Services does only check if you have an account and a known network name with OpenDNS, but does not test if your system is actually configured to use OpenDNS services. For this to work, you should make sure these settings are in place:

- in System -> Settings -> General, you need to set the IP addresses of the OpenDNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)
- in Services -> Unbound -> General, you need to set 'Enable forwarding mode'

That should be it.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
