Is anyone able to please recommend an alternative or better than Home Halo?
The net controls are insufficiently granular with our ISP it is a block all or nothing per blocking category & I would like greater control. Thanks.

Yes, the supplied router pathetically does not support alternative DNS.0

Routers are cheap as chips, so get yourself a real router that does!0

Are you able to disable DHCP on your router? If you have another device on your network that can run a DHCP server, you could configure that to hand out the OpenDNS addresses on client registration. e.g. I've disabled my Sky router (in the past), and now my BT router - they just act as a NAT device. I have a Synology NAS that I use for DHCP - does the job a treat.0
