I’m now testing OpenDNS at home. You get
- Web Content Filtering
- Anti Phising
- Malware protection
- Whitelist/Blacklist
- Block P2P, and more…
Have not noticed any drops in speed. Ok, a ping to the DNS server of OpenDNS is slower than to my “real” DNS, but that does not tell the whole story, since you do not surf on pages hosted on your DNS-server. It might also depend on the size of the DNS-cache on the server…have I been told…
A bit confused when it comes to verifying if I’m really using OpenDNS using the webpage http://www.opendns.com/welcome/ but it all turned out to be a need to just restart Firefox combined with a few minutes of waiting time.
