Opendns This Domain Is Blocked Due To Content Filtering
This article is a guide for when a certificate error for *.opendns.com appears, but is not able to be bypassed by adding a certificate exception as outlined in this article: https://support.opendns.com/entries/42398824. In this case, follow the steps below to allow the certificate error to be cleared. When you're unable to bypass the certificate error by adding an exception, this is because of the implementation ofHTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) or pre-loaded Certificate Pinning in modern browsers. In essence, communication between certain browsers and certain websites is done in a way that 'bakes in' the requirement to use HTTPS and no bypass or exception is possible. This extra security for HTTPS pages prevents the OpenDNS block page and bypass block page mechanism from working when HSTS is active for a website. For more information about HSTS, please refer tothis article. So, if you'reseeing a certificate error in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox or Safari that cannot be bypassed and you are trying to access the bypass login, this article is for you! IMPORTANT: If the domain is on the HSTS pinned list, an exception cannot be added as the lis

We encourage you to try installing the OpenDNS Root CA with this article: https://support.opendns.com/entries/98279288 Why does this occur? This error is caused by a HTTPS site's certificate expecting to load the original site (like internetbadguys.com, facebook.com, twitter.com) but is being redirected to the OpenDNS block page which the certificate https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/articles/227988767--opendns-com-Certificate-errors-Adding-Exceptions is not signed for. Effectively, the block page is appearing instead of the certificate that the browser (correctly) expects and it's warning you there may be a problem with the connection. In fact, there is an issue: OpenDNS is intercepting the request and blocking it, as per the policies you've configured. This is fully expected given the way in which browser security is designed.The warnings and browser behavior vary slightly between Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, but the root cause is the same in all cases. When using Block Page Bypass, the scenario changes slightly. Block Page Bypass is essentially an HTTP proxy, and when you request items over HTTPS, we present you an OpenDNS certificate from our block page since we're not able to impersonate other certificates or identities. Once you bypass an HTTPS site, your traffic is then going through the OpenDNS proxy server. This proxy server is using a certificate registered to "*.opendns.com" which is not valid for the domain requested. The error can be confusing to users and you may wish to stop it from appearing. These messages are all written to sound dangerous and menacing; however, in the case of OpenDNS exceptions, this is expected due to the redirection method of how our
probably not the site you are looking for! You attempted to reach mail.google.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as*.opendns.com. This may be caused https://support.opendns.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/220030507-gmail-blocked-by-open-dns by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version ofmail.google.com. You cannot https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/faq proceed because the website operator has requested heightened security for this domain. 13 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+ 22 Comments 22 comments Sort by Date Votes rotblitz January 07, 2014 19:26 OpenDNS does not how to block anything except Phishing and Malware sites. So, if something is blocked, it is because of your settings, likely mail.google.com. Because you tried to reach this with HTTPS, you get a browser generated security warning. The certificate for the OpenDNS block page is clearly from OpenDNS, not from Google. This is what the message says. Solution: don't block what you don't want to be blocked. I.e. opendns blocked sites either uncheck the related category, or add the blocked domains to the "never block" list. If you are unsure what is blocked, simply visit your domain stats to find it out: https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/all/blockeddomains 0 Permalink mimismama March 22, 2014 19:39 I'm having trouble as well. I have google.com and google.ca and mail.google.com as "never blocked"… but they are still blocked. And so is youtube. even though I DO NOT have video sharing checked off. This is extremely frustrating. I'm beginning to really hate OpenDns. I'd really appreciate if some of the answers were easier to understand for normal people.I have tried everything to unblock google, although I don't want google I only want my gmail… I've tried to unblock all of it… it just won't let me. I'd love some help. 0 Permalink rotblitz March 23, 2014 11:58 As said, OpenDNS doesn't block this by default, so it must be your settings, e.g. of categories, blocking it. Visit https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/all/blockeddomains to see what related domains are still being blocked and why. Then unblock or whitelist them.

Frequently Asked Questions General What is Google Public DNS? Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider. Why is Google working on a DNS service? We believe that a faster and safer DNS infrastructure could significantly improve the web browsing experience. Google Public DNS has made many improvements in the areas of speed, security, and validity of results. We've shared these improvements in our documentation, to contribute to an ongoing conversation within the web community. Can I use Google Public DNS to host my domain name or website? No. Google Public DNS is not an authoritative DNS hosting service. If you are looking for a high-volume, programmable, authoritative name server using Google's infrastructure, try Google's Cloud DNS. Does Google Public DNS offer the ability to block or filter out unwanted sites? No. Google Public DNS is purely a DNS resolution and caching server; it does not perform any blocking or filtering of any kind, except that it may not resolve certain domains in extraordinary cases if we believe this is necessary to protect Google’s users from security threats. But we believe that blocking functionality is usually best performed by the client. If you are interested in enabling such functionality, you should consider installing a client-side application or browser add-on for this purpose. Are Googlers using Google Public DNS? Yes. Googlers have been using Google Public DNS since a couple of months before the launch. Also, we have been using it to power our Wi-Fi networks for visitors as well as our free public Wi-Fi network in Mountain View, California. Are there any cross-product dependencies with Google Public DNS? Google Public DNS is an independent service. Do I need a Google Account to use Google Public DNS? No. How is Google Public DNS different from my ISP
