Trying to make the internet not be for porn
November 7, 2011
We have Verizon FIOS, and I configured their router to be a bridge to our router, and we use OpenDNS so we can at least erect some speedbumps on the way to internet porn from our network.
Unfortunately, we had some sort of power failure last night weekend nide days ago ago that left the verizon router in a borken state, and I could not unbork it until I had done a factory reset. Having it in default state seemed to interfere with our use of OpenDNS, so I had to restore bridge mode.
That was a pain.
Actually, it may have been the Linksys router that was borked. I have a spare router (doesn’t everyone?) that is a monster upgrade.
The two sets of instructions that seemed to work (that is, after trying A, then trying B, it worked) were these two:

Some of the steps seem to be timing dependent, meaning, do them quickly, then check afterwards to see if they took.
