Ask HN: How to block Instagram via Router (OpenDNS)

[pragmaticpirate]

I have added

instagram.com cdninstagram.com

to the blocked list but I am still able to access the app through my phone.

Where did you add the domains? You mention router but you also mention OpenDNS so I assume you added that to a custom filter in your OpenDNS account? If so, your local DNS may be caching the previously requested names and/or your phone may also be using DNS from the wireless providers data network.

I think it would help if you provided more details about your setup.
