I do like the theory that goes behind OpenDNS. I believe it is a great idea for anyone that uses the internet and wants to avoid all kinds of phishing scams. My issue is that what if someone edits the DNS entries in OpenDNS and changes something like etrade to phishing sites. Without some assurance from a 3rd party security firm, i dunno if i can trust using it for private secure transactions.

[...] In comes OpenDNS. Torley found out about OpenDNS at LiewCF, that it was a free service that they could use rather then the one from there own ISP. I headed on over and tried it out myself. It was quick and easy. I already knew something about TCP/IP settings, so I was happy that there was a “quick and dirty” short cut on step 1 for those of us who didn’t need to have every step explained to us. I just copied the IP’s listed, and BAM! I was able to hit the Second Life Herald. Explore posts in the same categories: Blogs, Websites, Services, SecondLife [...]

[...] One of the sheer ironies that occurred as I was moving my blog was that many of my visitors saw the new site @ TORLEY.COM before me, after I changed nameservers. This is prolly ’cause my ISP has slow DNS servers. Solution? I googled and found out about OpenDNS. It literally took me a minute to setup and get on the same page (heh heh) as just about everyone else. Useful tool in case you keep refreshing your site in hopes it’ll show the correct status at its new home. But for a couple of days there, I was in the dark, and frustrated as to what was going on. I also recommend Anonymouse to get an independent view of your site, as seen through the “eyes” of an anonymous proxy. [...]

I’ve tried it. After setting the DNS, I try to open the welcome page using Firefox, but I get an Ops. I try it using Internet Explorer, and I saw the welcome page. I try to open the demo page too, it is blocked in IE, but not firefox. Then I try to mispell the .org to .og, but it is not working on both IE and Firefox. Hmm..

Lately saw somechanges on your blog, look like you didnt put in the forum updates like last time in the bottom?

@Diana: OpenDNS is a DNS service, it does not change your IP address. You need to use proxy server to mask your IP address.

@Steven: I do not have Aztech beside me. As far as I know, log into router admin panel. Goto “DNS Configuration”, then set the “Preferred DNS Server” and “Alternate DNS Server” to OpenDNS’ DNS IP addresses.

I am using Aztech router, but unfortunately the DNS is set to auto, do you know how to make it manual. I have tried the instructions few time but still getting the tm net auto assigned DNS no.

Pls help.

Thanks

I did and followed the instructions and even got the web page to see that installation is successful, but when I check on my IP again, is appears to be the same as before.
