You go into your modem router setup page, enter openDNS's numbers, save and reboot modem.

Can't do that on a BT Home Hub 2A.

Ahh, but you could just block DNS requests out to the internet for everything except the router with the routers firewall and have it act as a caching DNS itself. Of course that depends on being able to configure the firewall on the router with that level of sophistication so you may need a custom firmware for your router like openwrt if you have kids that clever

Thats correct but whilst its a simple google search to find a way around opendns by going into the TCP/IP properties its fairly complicated to set up the router to either block all traffic to port 53 or to redirect all traffic to port 53 to OpenDNS. Plus as you say custom firmware is going to be needed in most cases like openwrt or DD-WRT which in itself can be risky (void certain warranties) to set up and use.

I was simply pointing out that just because you've set the router to opendns that it isn't the end of the story for a determined teen hell bent on pron!

Easy solution to that is to take away his/her computer
