820260 2009-10-13 21:29:00 Just changed my DNS servers to OpenDNS after reading Chilli was using them, Instant improvement, The half dozen sites that refused to open all morning just snapped into life. Metla (12)
820261 2009-10-13 21:55:00 Yup, I always use OpenDNS now. CYaBro (73)
820262 2009-10-13 23:25:00 I'm surprised you hadn't made the switch sooner ;) The only down-side I notice is DNS replication (like updating your domain name) can take slightly longer compared with local DNS servers.

Other than that, it's super fantastic!

Highly worth logging in to the OpenDNS website and registering your IP so you can take advantage of some other features too.

That said, all I ever do is set my DNS to 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220 :)

820267 2009-10-15 03:05:00 Please forgive me if i appear a little "duh" here, but can anyone use open dns? I have PC with ethernet connection to wireless Netgear router and my laptop connects to wireless. Would it be of any benefit in this home network situation?
