thanks so much for your help. much appreciate

Hi @jeremy_cec,

I've passed it on to the Norton WiFi Privacy team for investigation and i'll update this thread when I hear more.

I'll see if I can get someone with more knowledge of VPNs to help.

i have another vpn client and it working well. 

And have you asked at OpenDNS if they have any issues with other VPNs?

 

yup.. i have another vpn that is working with the traceroute to opendns address above. 

Without being a tech expert on this, I am going to suggest that when using a VPN your personal DNS settings are bypassed.I see this when testing the Norton ConnectSafe DNS service. If I have the Norton Wifi Privacy, NWP, active the DNS settings for my system reflect those of the VPN service.

I do not know if this would affect trying to do a tracert to a DNS service. Have you asked this question to OpenDNS?

Have you tried another VPN service to see if you see the same thing?
