I wanted to use Open DNS solution in my UBUNTU PC. Also I followed the instruction from https://store.opendns.com/setup/operatingsystem/ubuntu but it's still saying I am not using Open DNS that means configuration was wrong. But I can't understand what's wrong.

My UBUNTU version: UBUNTU 12.04 LTS

Output of sudo /etc/resolv.conf + Output of sudo vim /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf + output of sudo ifconfig can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5557006/

It would be great if anyone can see my problem and suggest me to do right things.

Here's how you can do it:

First, open up the network applet menu, and all the way at the bottom, select "Edit Connections", like below:

Now, switch to the wireless (or wired, as the case may be) tab, and select your network connection from the list, and then click the "Edit" button.

Now, switch to the IPv4 tab.

Use the second item on the "Method" menu - change it to DHCP Addresses only.

enter image description here

Then, first enter in the DNS servers: 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220, and then click "Save".

Now, you should be using OpenDNS. If for some reason it doesn't work, go ahead and restart your computer - the changes should then take affect.
