OpenDNS only solves the filtering issue if you are pointed at the
correct DNS servers.  No Internet service provider that I know of will
force that issue, so there is a weakness between the server that should
force use of the correct DNS servers and the modem.  If you can bypass
the server, you're unfiltered.  If what you have to plug into beyond the
server requires authentication and you don't know the secret, you aren't
toast.  So what I really need is an authenticating switch that I can
lock inside my modem cabinet.  So what is this switch called and what
does it cost?
