This OpenDNS is not easy. The company began as a tentative alternative to the native services, provided by ISPs for DNS resolution. With the time gained muscle, and this month of August is celebrating a remarkable record: 30 million people use its legendary service, DNS resolution.
It's more than any other company but also the type and that any large ISP, according to information provided by them.
Why use OpenDNS? I have said here in Tecnoblog: access to the sites tends to be faster, since the database company's IP is always updated. Moreover, it is safer because OpenDNS prevents the user from falling into websites that attempt to steal passwords or induce fraudulent purchases.
Another interesting feature of OpenDNS, especially for parents of young children, is the access control. Give to block the internet from sites in some, is the filter by address (URL), or filter by category by site - the last resort has a very active community that spends the day sorting sites in several categories, including dreaded adult content.
Lately I've been using Google Public DNS service, DNS resolution of the search giant, which seems to have a better performance for Brazil in relation to ping. The OpenDNS remains the best option for those who want more than one DNS provider because of the resources I mentioned.
