OpenDNS and PIA VPN together on iPad

Hi, i'm looking for advice on how to do the following
-Use OpenDNS setting on router to keep family filter on
-Use PIA VPN on an end point device (iphone, ipad) for VPN use occasionally
Note I'm not looking to enable PIA on the router - just end device as I only use it for one app. I found other threads trying to use PIA on all devices.
When I do this now the router basically kicks my device off the network and won't allow the VPN to even connect. Very strange.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Since OpenDNS is effectively filtering your traffic, it may be set up to block VPN connections, but that's just speculation. It's hard to say since both OpenDNS and PIA are specific products that the rest of us don't necessarily have access to for troubleshooting. If you're convinced it's a router issue and not an OpenDNS issue, check your security settings, particularly with regards to blocked services.
