No more DNS outages and having to power recycle the modem and router. Nice! Love the added parental controls with the upgraded version, which I have not purchased yet. However, even the shortcuts you can create are a nice idea. Not so sure I like the idea of the OpenDNS folks knowing my every move but then again so does my ISP. Educate me.

Sorry, I stopped reading after she referred to the NY Times as “the most prestigious and well-known newspaper in the country?”

The glowing endorsement from colleagues is why I signed up. No doubt, OpenDNS is awesome. I’ll continue despite the NY Times endorsement.

Great job – i am here because of the article. I am not too techy, so I hope I can identify the improvements.

I disagree with the one post. (It was also an unnecessary comment.) I have never found David Pogue’s articles to be misleading, rather, always informative. And that’s why I’m here. One suggestion on the instruction for Mac Leopard (and Snow Leopard) users: Be sure to let people know they need to unlock the lock in the lower left-hand corner (illustration #3) to make changes. It may seem obvious, but won’t be to everyone. Looking forward to the service.

The NYT article is the reason that I signed up for this nifty service. Long live OpenDNS!

An insightful article — I didn’t know that you could easily change the DNS setting in the wi-fi router and thereby change the address look-up for all connected devices.

I’ll definitely check it out. In the past, I’ve sometimes found Mr Pogue’s columns misleading.

I read this article a half hour ago. I immediately changed my netbooks’ DNS settings, and registered for a business account. I can’t wait to set this up at work tomorrow.
