FamilyShield is a special service offered by OpenDNS distinct from our standard packages. Meant for home users who want to keep their children from seeing inappropriate images on their computers, FamilyShield will always block domains categorized in our system as Tasteless, Proxy/Anonymizer, Sexuality, or Pornography. Unlike our standard Home service, you don't need a registered network to use FamilyShield, and it's just as easy to configure. If you have any questions on FamilyShield not answered here, feel free to open up a support ticket or ask in the forums.

To use FamilyShield, you should set your DNS server entries as: 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123.  On our website, you may notice that OpenDNS' DNS servers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, but these do not apply to FamilyShield customers.
