Trying OpenDNS

OpenDNS The recently revealed DNS security flaw prompted me to switch to OpenDNS (which is not vulnerable to the problem).  So far so good.  The DNS lookups are speedy, though I have not noticed it being substantially faster than my ISP’s DNS.

OpenDNS is free and using it is as simple as changing the DNS settings in your computer or your router to use the OpenDNS servers.  They make their money from displaying ads and a search page for failed lookups.  If you sign up for an OpenDNS account and register your IP address, you can take advantage of some extra features such as usage stats and content blocking.
