Your browser is totally reliant on a worldwide collection of DNS (Domain NameSystem) servers to translate names like www.pcmag.com into IP addresses like 208.19.38.58. Your ISP supplies this service by default while alternative services like Google’s Public DNS and the budding Norton Live DNS promise added features or better performance.
For years OpenDNS has offered a secure, configurable, optimized DNS service that, according to the company, is used by about 20 million people – more than one percent of all Internet users. Today the company announced a new free service called FamilyShield Parental Controls specifically designed to block porn and other unwanted web sites. It’s easy to set up, requires no configuration, and works on all Internet-connected devices including game consoles, PCs (Windows-based or otherwise) and even phones connecting via WiFi.
