Don't stress; use a proxy to swiftly unblock OpenDNS.

OpenDNS is a DNS (domain name system) and Internet security computer platform that delivers various features, including the FamilyShield program that enables network administrators at homes, schools or workplaces to lock access to unreliable Web content that may contain viruses, malware, spyware or phishing websites. If your network administrator is restricting websites with OpenDNS, you'll need to unblock it to access these websites. This is accomplished swiftly with a proxy, a website that lets you use its server to connect to content being blocked by any type of Internet security programs including OpenDNS.
