    So today I get up and head online, and see that a majority of pages are blocked by something called "OpenDNS". Well, I tried to remove it, by uninstalling it, but that didn't do anything. So then I looked online for help, but that didnt work either. So now I'm here, and that "OpenDNS" thing is driving me insane!
    Whenever I head to some website, it just says, "Sorry, but ____ is blocked on this network."

    IIRC, OpenDNS is a filtering software. It could simply be that your parents have activated some parental controls so certain sites are innaccessable.

    Perhaps you could try asking them about that first?

    I know there is a way to block it because I had this issue on my old laptop and it popped up again on my new one when I first used it. I just can't remember how I fixed it :/ possibly just blocking opendns domain?

    would "some websites" include items of illegal/pornographic nature?

    The stuff blocked is anything related to a video game.

    Weren't you the guy who couldn't partake in a tournament/contest because your parents hid your controllers or something?
