      I know this is a bit old, but I just wanted to confirm that disabling the Harden DNSSEC Data and enabling DNS Query Forwarding will allow OpenDNS to work.

      Enabling the DNS Query Forwarding on the resolver will break DNS for clients if Harden DNSSEC Data is enabled. I was kicking all around trying to get this working.

      Disable Harden DNSSEC Data:
      Services > DNS Resolver > Advanced Settings > Uncheck Harden DNSSEC Data
      Services > DNS Resolver > Check DNS Query Forwarding

        Today, November 2017, OpenDNS isn't doing any DNSSEC yet, and worse, by concept it can't pass along the DNS requests without breaking the security chain.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Well, it's now November 2018 and OpenDNS still does not support DNSSEC. Good to see things have changed a lot in a year.

            Why would they support DNSSEC? One of their primary purposes is to alter DNS replies to do things DNSSEC is designed to prevent.

              this helped me, the last few entries, but here is what fixed it for me in
              2023...

              Services > DNS Resolver > Advanced Settings > Left it checked
              Services > DNS Resolver > Check DNS Query Forwarding

              seems like I am using OpenDNS, like I wanted, but still able to use my dns resolver so I can do host overrides and anything else I want to do in DNS.
