      I have just update the latest version of 2.1 BETA1 to  2.1-RC0 (i386) built on Tue Jun 18 06:49:28 EDT 2013

      I found that my OpenDNS does not force the content filtering that I have set on www.opendns.com to the my PC
      Even, I can see the Ip-address update on opendns configuration page on OpenDNS management.

      It was working on BETA version very well, but now not working.

      I suspected that OpenDNS php client on pfSense is broken or perhaps DNS forwarder? ???

      Has anyone got the same problem with me, let me know,pls

        There isn't an OpenDNS client on pfSense, and pfSense wouldn't alter the DNS responses from OpenDNS either.

        If your users get their DNS from the firewall, make sure your DNS servers are set to OpenDNS under System > General

        If your users get the OpenDNS servers directly, then there really is nothing that pfSense could be doing to the DNS traffic to break OpenDNS.

          Large ranges of forwarded ports can interfere with DNS answers. Typically, DNS clients use UDP and then try TCP if UDP failed, but I have observed a case where this didn't work (but wasn't on pfSense…).
