That is not to say we relax parental monitoring and telling our kids about the danger lurking on the wire...so nice to have a full time nanny on the net. Thanks OPENDNS! I now have internetbadguys as the default page on IE so the kids are continually reminded of the badguys out there. I am trying ou DNS-O-Matic now - sounds like a great service!

Secondly thanks for keeping the service free. Please note that the link you gave above for http://www.opendns.com/faq/#how_does_opendns_make_money "How OpenDNS makes money" is now changed to http://www.opendns.com/support/article/14 I came here reading about your FREE service on http://www.doxpara.com/ where i tested my ISP DNS service and found it to be vulnuberable to the recent DNS posioning attack that is coming up actively this month (July 2008). Now i am in SAFE Hands and I wish every one else too get aware of it and start using your great FREE service. Some how for last two days I can not access CJ.com website. Even after the switch to OpenDNS the page do not show up. I wonder what could be wrong :0 Once again thanks !!!! Cheeku Dear David

Its interesting to know that even here in Nigeria, where Internet can be relatively slow, there is a considerable improvement when openDNS is used. Have fun! Hi David,

It has been wonderful using everyDNS so when i heard about openDNS, i configured my office network to use it. Its interesting to know that even here in Nigeria, where Internet can be relatively slow, there is a considerable improvement when openDNS is used.

Have fun!

I'm amazed I hadn't heard about the concept before, but I think it's a great idea. I'm going to tell all my site visitors (to Scamdex) to switch to using openDNS as soon as I get home. Keep up the good work! David,
