C3000=100NAS Filtering Parental controls
Dear Netgear Community: Problem. I have a C3000 Modem/router combination. For several years, I used the device with parental controls that worked well.. The controls have no longer function...

One possible problem in such a case would be a relatively new
web-browser feature: "DNS over HTTPS". With that feature enabled, the
web browser will ignore/bypass the DNS-server settings in the router,
and use some DNS server(s) of its own choice. Which would defeat your
attempt to use OpenDNS.

Browser update?
A little Web searching for terms like, say:
"DNS over HTTPS" <your_browser_name>
might find something interesting. (No bets, but it's a possibility.)
