Nighthawk app and opendns

In the old genie app there was a way to enable a bypass for opendns parental controls. I don't want to use the new Disney controls. Anyone know how to enable opendns again?

OpenDNS and Netgear Live Parental Controls continue working, for the administration the desktop Genie must be used (sigh....), and the bypass capability is lost in space (sigh, sigh, ...).

    I understand from the previous post I am no longer able to set OpenDNS device level security on mobile devices following netgear shutting down the genie mobile app. Please let me know if this is incorrect.

     

    I previously had certain devices setup with bypass accounts, and others with tighter security settings than the default. It appears I can no longer set up bypass accounts, and modify these settings?

     

    This is a big problem for me. Is there any way to roll this back, or is the only way to remedy to switch to Disney? I will buy a new router before I switch to Disney.

     

    Thanks
