OpenDNS parental control going away?
I have read that support for Netgear OpenDNS parental control is ending 12/31/2021. Does that mean it will no longer work on my r8000 Nighthawk router after that date - please can someone clarify wha...
Instead of using the built-in Parental controls, you can manually configure your router to use OpenDNS servers.
1. Setup a free OpenDNS consumer account
2. From the routers web interface Advanced tab, select Setup -> Internet setup. Under DNS apply the two OpenDNS server IPs listed below. Note your routers Internet IP Address
3. Within your OpenDNS Dashboard set your routers internet IP. Then in the OpenDNS Dashboard Settings tab select your router and choose the Web Content Filtering you'd like applied.
