OpenDNS

How many of you use OpenDNS?

I've been using for about a year now, and I love it.

I dont see the point in it.

I switched to it when my provider wouldn't recognize my site after domain change.

It works so well ^-^

I use Google DNS. It's a lot faster than the provider's default DNS and it's faster than OpenDNS in the place where I live.

You must like Google seeing everything you do online then. 😛

Google would see anyway, unless I didn't use Google for searching. And even if I didn't, I would need to block Google Analytics on all the sites that use it (including FP), as well as AdSense - which I already block anyways. There's also the remote risk that Google Chrome sends your history data, or your Android mobile phone messages and calls content to Google - but don't start being psychotic 🙂.

And, who guarantees you that OpenDNS is not sending the data to any big company? Even your default ISP DNS provider might do. Did you take the time to read the privacy statement (if it exists)?

I don't. They turned into crap (on my end). A lot of white pages and 404s that were not missing links. As soon as I reset back to my old DNS everything worked fine again.,

I used it, but now I'm using Comodo DNS to help block me from visiting sites associated with viruses, malware, and spyware.

I guess that blocks me from visiting all the sites with a strange port number, SSL error and false positives like that, correct or not?...

Possibly, but I have not have many problems with Comodo blocking most sites which are good since I mostly visit forums, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and other popular sites.

SecureDNS helps users keep safe online with its malware domain filtering feature. SecureDNS references a real-time block list (RBL) of harmful websites (i.e. phishing sites, malware sites, spyware sites, excessive advertising sites, etc.) and will warn you whenever you attempt to access a site containing potentially threatening content.

I think SecureDNS is manually updated by a real person when someone reports the site contain threats, and Comodo confirms it before adding it to their "Real-Time Block List".

I used it for a bit, then my net starting getting screwed so now I am back on my ISP slow ones for now.
