      I'm having some trouble changing the old DNS (OpenDNS) that the previous tech has placed in Pfsense.

      I have already changed to Google DNS the following areas in Pfsense:

      System>General Setup
      System>Setup Wizard
      Firewall>Rules>WAN

        Have you tried flushing the DNS cache in pfSense and your connected client? http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_do_I_clear_the_DNS_Forwarder_cache%3F
        What sort of connection does your WAN link use?

          I just tried the instructions in your link. I also tried flushing the client pc's dns cache. Unfortunately, when I do an ipconfig /all, OpenDNS' dns still appears while google's cache seems to be absent.

            What does your dhcp say about dns or do you use it on wan links anymore?

              As Metu69salemi says, have you checked Services > DHCP Server: DNS Servers ?

                I haven't before but I have now.

                Yes. The DNS there is set to OpenDNS. I used Google's DNS but what I got is this error:

                EDIT: Nevermind. It's fixed. Thanks for all the info.
