Using OpenDNS to Filter Website from the Router
No Client Configuration needed.
For all who want to improve work productivity in your office by blocking some of website and allow it only in specific time, this simple guide is for you.
1. Sign Up for a Free account of OpenDNS Home at https://store.opendns.com/get/home-free
2. After completing registration process & activation, go to Dashboard >> Setting>> Add Network based on your current IP address displayed on the top of the browser
3. First time user might need to confirm the public IP from the activation link sent to the email. To customize the blocking by category, just click on the newly added network.
