OpenDNS

No photography here, just some geek-talk.

Today's post is a plug for a really cool software service called OpenDNS. This company takes care of resolving Internet addresses to the servers where the web sites reside. While your Internet Service Provider does this for you already as part of your service, this company does it faster and more reliably.

In addition to fast, reliable DNS processing, they also offer additional services such as stats and site filtering based upon categories. The standard setup blocks access to phishing sites and you can add Malware, Adware, and any other nasty areas of the Internet you don't want your family or employees browsing to. The service also provides a guide page to help resolve mis-typed Internet addresses.

Check out the site, check out the service. Setup is easy and covered on their web page. Highly recommended by someone who takes care of this stuff for a living.
