Are you on a network like that of a college?
"Allah may guide their bullets, but Jesus helps those who aim down the sights."
Home. Which is even more weird. I just installed a new TP-Link router if that's worth anything. Windows 7 is such a pain for a computer illiterate for me.

I don't know how Open DNS works in the first place. But you could try the classics: Using "Add and remove programs" (oh sorry, it's been renamed "programs and features now"), Deleting the files...
If it simply affects your network configuration, you can open it and see if it explicitly references a DNS server IP address: then simply replace it with your Internet Service Provider's DNS server IP.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
Its a stupid community that votes against any website with the slightest amount of sexual content and proceeds to block it for everyone else. I don't know how they got this sort of power. And no, its not in "Programs and Features".
See ALL the stars!
Look under the Internet Settings options for any proxy settings.
Da Rules excuse all the inaccuracy in the world. Listen to them, not me.
I'll do this tomorrow, its getting late over here.
So a program called Open DNS blocks things? This amuses me more then it should.
You should be able to delete it/uninstall it somehow.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?

I got around it, but you need adminstator priviliges. If you have the ability to change internet settings, just change your connection back to the default router.
Open DNS works by going through it's server, and blocks stuff like that. If you can cut it out of the picture, you may be able to run without it. I'm trying to remeber what I did to get around it.
Since I disabled it we have gotten a new router, so I can't really tell you exactly where to go.

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.
Its now blocking Pixiv! Yesterday I changed my DNS and thought I was safe, but it isn't working. I either need a much better DNS address or talk to these bastards directly. Why do I have to go through this?!? I haven't even visited their site until the other day! Its nice for parents to have a control on their child's internet (no wait, it isn't) but don't involve anybody else!

So that's what this does
Is it set as the DNS server of your computer, your router or both?

You could use Google's Public DNS: use IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your two DNS servers. Should be in your network configuration.
A brighter future for a darker age.

In the latter picture, change the first Radio button to "Obtain an IP address automatically", but leave the second section (the one about DNS servers) like it currently is.
I don't even know how this thing was installed on my PC in the first place. This thing is suddenly blocking Danbooru, and I don't like that. Who gave them the right to choose what I should be allowed to view?
Dammit, this is giving me a headache. I'm already raging hard here, looking through unhelpful site after unhelpful site. Can I just get a straight answer?
