Recommended: OpenDNS
I have been using OpenDNS for maybe a year now and I thought others might like to know about it as well. It is a free DNS service that protects you and your children online while speeding up your internet browsing at the same time. It replaces your ISP’s DNS (think of a massive phone book for the internet) with a larger, more reliable one from OpenDNS providing a faster browsing experience. Phishing scam sites are automatically blocked and you can also set it up to filter out adult content or other categories you need blocked. I like this approach since it keeps objectionable material off my network without degrading performance like other programs do. It is really easy to set up as well. I chose to enable OpenDNS on my router so every computer in my home is automatically using the service. If you have children in the house or want just a little more surfing umph!, I think this a no-brainer.
