Here too. The few times OpenDNS has incorrectly blocked something it has been easy to whitelist the URL

I suppose their community-supported domain tagging system must work pretty well considering the vast number of web sites, but a couple of times I've run across something which was wrongly categorized and my attempts to use their system to request a review has been ineffective.
(the Diesel Sweeties web comic is not pornography, seriously:
https://domain.opendns.com/dieselsweeties.com).

My other beef with OpenDNS is that they don't provide any information about how, why, or when a site was identified as a malware site. A few times someone has requested that a site identified by OpenDNS as malware be unblocked. I wish I had more information to provide the user about why I can't do it.

Those are pretty minor complaints in the grand scheme of things though.
