I would have to do that on all computers wouldn't I? Nice thing about OpenDNS is it blocks most things. It does too much though on some settings, and not enough on others. I like the idea of a white list to let through some special sites, but they limited it to 25. I'd be willing to pay if I could have much higher limits but it is something their system doesn't support.
