What makes you think home users don't need that level of protection? As a home (family) user I see no reason currently to upgrade from the free basic to the deluxe plan. If malware site protection was at least included in deluxe, that would have been enough for me to want to pay for the service.

What occurs to me, as a prosumer, is that your service is a little difficult to explain to normal people: hockey moms, six pack dads and Dilberts managers. I think it would help your viral marketing to have a really straight talking simple video on your site explaining what you do. Nothing patronising but simply starting with few assumptions about the viewers prior knowledge; and then progressing through to implications and consequences. Just a thought!

I am so happy that I am able to control what he can access. This is an excellant service and I would gladly recommend it to anyone. We access the internet wirelessly. My son is not that tech savvy so he has not attempted to disable the service. What I would like to see is a password protected option to disable the service or to uninstall the software. Once installed, the opendns icon should not be visible in the system tray. I would repeat that this is an excellent service. Great Job!!!!

I personally hope it has a way to let a subset of users go to any site any time, while still blocking undesired content from other users... all behind the same proxy. Maybe a small client that can be installed on the computer to authenticate or group the users. Then you might also be able to protect those computers when they roam to a network that doesnt use OpenDNS? Can’t wait to see what the new features are.

It is only 802.11b so it is slow and doesn't cover our entire house, but it also causes random printing problems on our home network and needs resetting a lot. Just as annoying, it has a 15 device limit. In a family with 7 kids, each with their own computer, and with who knows how many iPod touches, we maxed out their limits long ago and have been using a clunky work around. It would be great if we could control TIMES OF DAY the Internet was accessed with password over ride. Hopefully that is being thought of as a feature in a paid OpenDNS home service.
