As far as 2 goes check and make sure the ips match what opendns thinks you have. I don't have the software to automatically update opendns installed on my system so I have to manually update the ip. Haven't done it in some time. The defaults seem to work for me anyway.
I forgot about that! I'll have to check tomorrow - I forget if I even run the software there or if I do it manually. We did have a significant power outage there, so I guess it's possible it picked up a new IP.

I manage two networks in my profile with OpenDNS. I have been using it for 6+ months. It has been working well. Today, I stopped by the physical location of one of my networks running OpenDNS (my parents), and I noticed that one of my personal websites is blocked by OpenDNS, stating "pornography".

I looked at my settings within OpenDNS, and I'm opn the "low" setting, blocking only phishing-related websites. I whitelisted my domain and the related subdomains, waited about 10 mins, and my sites were still not accessable.

So, I have two questions:
1) How come it's being classified as "pornography"? (FWIW, I am on a shared hosting plan--is that part of it?)

2) How come OpenDNS blocked it even though I "allow" pornography within my settings, and how come it's still blocked after I whitelisted them?
