Re: Can the Sky router

Easier to sign up to Opendns and block a website on there. Basically you create a free account, add the site to you blocklist and configure your router to use the OpenDNS DNS servers.

Yes it's really easy. Just log on to your router and go to block sites. It''s pretty self explanatory from there.

Re: Can the Sky router

There is a way to get OpenDNS to run on your Sky router without having to reflash it or do it via Network connections. The How-to is on this site

Re: Can the Sky router

Please note if you do the above and opendns goes down or has issues then you stand to have problems with your connection. If you then call tier 1 and they find you have incorrect DNS ips in your router settings you will be on your own as they will not be able to help you without a factory reset on the router which will drop any tweaks or config changes you have made to the router.
