News & Notes from the OpenDNS team

OpenDNS matching Google's free airport WiFi gift with free services for the holidays.

by Allison Rhodes on Nov 11th, 2009

Yesterday Google announced it’s providing WiFi free of charge to 47 airports across the country during the holiday season. (A full list of the airports is here.) Because we’re also starting to feel the spirit of the season, today we invite all 47 airports to take us up on a special offer to use OpenDNS on the WiFi free of charge.

Now that the WiFi is in effect, we want to make it easy for the 47 airports to make it safe for the millions of travelers who’ll pass through the airports this holiday season. OpenDNS is the single easiest way to keep travelers safe from phishing attempts, taking the guesswork out of identifying the fraudulent sites for them. We have several versions of OpenDNS so we’ll work with the airports to get them the one that’s best for their network and needs.

Network admins at the participating airports: all you have to do is drop us a line at airportwifi @ opendns.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

    How is this above and beyond what you offered before?

    @Kieran - There are now three different versions of OpenDNS. While anyone can use Basic for free now (including airports) we’ll work with the participating airports to provide them the version of OpenDNS that best suits them for free.

    great service both for free wifi and OpenDNS.
    sadly it’s only in US, :(

    That was a great thing to offer to the airports. I commend you on that, and hope that they decided to use OpenDNS, at least for their public networks, and, hopefully for their intranets as well.

    Keep up the fine work!

    I am curious to know how many airports really contacted you?!
