how can I configure it so that I would not need to change the settings after a computer restart? I really wanted to block the sites that are useless. By the way I chose the setting for a computer, not the router.

If you're referring to your IP settings changing upon reboot, install the OpenDNS Updater. It will update OpenDNS on your new IP settings whenever they change.

A little more info would help (OS, version?), but in general:

  • Open up the network configuration program/control panel
  • Find the configuration page for TCP/IP
  • If it is currently set to get the DNS server from a DHCP, change the setting so you can set it yourself
  • Set the values for DNS server to: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

Or just install the updater that John T mentioned :)

Here's a nice OpenDNS tutorial for you:

Using OpenDNS for adult site filtering and online safety

including a video that explains how to use the OpenDNS Updater and Dashboard.

If you're using Windows 7, refer to the Windows Vista section.
