I’m very proud to announce that we are one of the only DNS vendor / service providers that was not vulnerable when this issue was first discovered by Dan. During Dan’s testing he confirmed and we later confirmed that our DNS implementation is not susceptible to the attack that was discovered. In other words, if you used OpenDNS then you were already protected long before this attack was even discovered.
Not only is opendns fast, but the dns flaw, doesn’t affect me or anybody else using opendns. I’ve been using opendns for a long time, probably a year or more. I’m not sure how long, but it works fine. Not sure why anybody would continue using their ISP’s dns servers, considering how opendns is faster, more secure, and you can setup content filtering too, and best of all its 100% free.
Oh yeah and its really easy to use opendns, on your router, set your dns to the IP address’s opendns’s site shows. On my linksys router, all I had to do was set static dns 1 and 2 to the IP address’s they list on their site.
Forgot to say they also have Phishing Protection. Which is nice, just incase somebody else at my house, like my mom, gets tricked, or somebody tries to trick her, or they try to trick me.
