Some days back i was experiencing very slow Internet connectivity at my office....Especially my browsing speed was terribly slow! And I'm sure many non US users faces similar problem. One of my colleague introduced me with this new service called "OpenDNS". Its fast, safe and it has solved my Internet issue What is OpenDNS? OpenDNS is a free DNS service with the following benefits: Safer — OpenDNS automatically protect you from accessing phishing sites that try to steal your personal information or money. Faster — OpenDNS server is faster because it has big cache memory and good network. Smarter — OpenDNS automatically make correction to domain name extension, example: if you type .og OpenDNS load .org How to use OpenDNS? Setting up OpenDNS is very simple. No software to install. The setup instructions are listed on the OpenDNS’s Get Started page. Select either your network device or operating system to get a simple, step-by-step instruction with screenshots. I am connecting to Internet via D-Link Wireless router, so I use the D-link admin page to setup OpenDNS. In short, simply change your Internet connection setting to use OpenDNS’s DNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. After you have done, you will get a welcome message at http://welcome.opendns.com/ How does OpenDNS make money? OpenDNS make money by having advertisements alongside search results on error pages (when you entered a wrong URL). OpenDNS will provide additional paid services. Does it work? Yes, I am a pretty happy with OpenDNS! With OpenDNS, websites are showing up a few seconds faster than using my ISP DNS servers. I think OpenDNS save a lot of time on resolving domain names to IP addresses. Btw, DNS has nothing much to do with download speed. So don't get confused here! try OpenDNS today Cheers, Black_Hand
