OpenDNS - Replacement for Slow ISP DNS Servers
Filed in: Reviews, Tips n Tricks, Web — August 4th, 2006
I talked about the slowness of my ISP(TMNet) broadband connection. PalmDoc gave me a tip on how to use the free DNS service by OpenDNS. I tried, and it helps!
What is OpenDNS?
OpenDNS is a free DNS service with the following benefits:
- Safer — OpenDNS automatically protects you from accessing malicious sites that try to steal your personal information or money.
- Faster — OpenDNS server is faster because it has big cache memory and good network.
- Smarter — OpenDNS automatically makes correction to domain name extension. For example: if you type .og OpenDNS load .org
How to use OpenDNS?
Setting up OpenDNS is very simple. No software to install. The setup instruction is on the OpenDNS’s Get Started page. Select either your network device or operating system to get a simple, step-by-step instruction with screenshots.
I am connecting to Internet via a Linksys Wireless router, so I use the Linksys page to setup OpenDNS.
In short, simply change your Internet connection setting to use OpenDNS’s DNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. After you are done, you will get the following welcome message at http://welcome.opendns.com/:
How does OpenDNS make money?
OpenDNS make money by having advertisements alongside search results on error pages (when you entered a wrong URL). OpenDNS will provide additional paid services.
OpenDNS shows search results with advertisements when you entered a wrong URL.
Does it work?
Yes, I am a happy OpenDNS user now!
With OpenDNS, websites show up a few seconds faster than using my ISP DNS servers. I think OpenDNS saves a lot of time on resolving domain names to IP addresses.
However, according to TestMy.Net download speed test, using OpenDNS or not does not make much different (or no different?). Well, DNS has nothing much to do with download speed.

Thanks! I was searching for the configuration to setup the Linksys router.

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.

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

@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.

yes… i managed to do it and I am using OpenDNS now … What I did, I went into my TCP/IP settings and make the change to automatic detact on the DNS no… previously I set at the fixed number given by the TM net people. (Coz there is one time I have difficulties to access to internet).
Lately saw somechanges on your blog, look like you didnt put in the forum updates like last time in the bottom?

[...] I decided to try OpenDNS after reading about it on both liewcf.com and paulstamatiou.com. And the result? Better speeds and improved security. [...]

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..

[...] PhishTank is a free community site where anyone can submit, veify, track and share phishing data. It does not protect you from phishing but it provides information to identify phishing sites and API to build security tools. PhishTank is operated by OpenDNS, a free DNS service provider. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

[...] 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 [...]

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.
