I'm at a loss as to how this would lead you to OpenDNS blocking the

valid DNS services like OpenDNS.
Yea.
Doesn't OpenDNS offer a blocking service? In addition to their
normal open DNS, I think they have a baby goat-safe DNS, plus a tier
where you can set your own blocks. That sounds more like what's
happened to the OP.
The OP does not provide much in the way of specifics.
Did he use OpenDNS by setting in either his router or his client
computer(s)? (this was very common a few years ago, before Verizon
got their act together and fikked their DNS set-ups).
Which Verizon service? If it's FiOS then they provide a higher-end
router that can sniff/block/redirect URLs. So then who's got the
admin password? OP doesn't name the site being blocked, so perhaps
he's been blocked intentionally?
Does he have one of those annoying malware, er a antivirus, packages
installed, that can cork him if he even thinks of visiting a funky
site? (My housemate has this problem few months, on his peecee. His
credit cards get soooo lonely for the day or two he's corked!).
Exactly what web sites and browser extensions are involved? etc.
