OpenDNS, safer web browsing experience
Posted 12 August 2006, 17:56 in Technology Leave a Comment
I’m a DNS fanatic. As a collector of “chris” domain names, I’m always fascinated by how a system of servers can translate anything.com into meaningful addresses that computers understand. So when a new DNS service called OpenDNS came out, I immediately jumped onto the bandwagon to try it.
One of the cool features of OpenDNS is phishing protection, blocking any phishing site that one may visit. For family members who may not be keen in spotting phishy sites, this is a good free service to use.
Although I do not believe this will take off as being a mainstream service that everyone will use, it’s a good alternative and can be used as backup DNS if you happen to use an ISP with not so reliable DNS servers.
