📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the difficulty of applying OpenDNS filtering to a specific Windows 10 user account without affecting others, with multiple contributors confirming that OpenDNS does not support per-user filtering. The original poster asks if scripts or task scheduling can achieve this selective filtering, but no definitive solution is provided. Overall, the consensus suggests using multiple DNS servers and switching between them via scripts as a workaround, though a straightforward per-user filtering method is not available.

I wish to use OpenDNS for filtering out certain websites like Facebook and Twitter for my child, who has their own user on Windows 10, however I do not want these DNS settings to apply to my account.

Currently, when the DNS is setup on one user, it is applied across the device. Is there a way of ensuring the DNS only activates when the child account is logged in?

The only possibility would be have two DNS servers setup and switch the DNS with a task that runs on start up.

For Kevin, just change your DNS to a different service such as google or cloudflare.

Hi there, I have using ISP DNS in my windows 10 which is causing too much issue. Sometimes it won't open a website having HTTPS protocol like Netflix Apk Mod Android - Unlock Android Mod Apk. I have told someone I can use OpenDNS which can solve my issueLink Removed If so how can I set up OpenDNS on my windows 10 operating system?
Gratitude,
