Speed Up Your Internet Service"OpenDNS offers faster Internet access (e-mail and FTP, too), and it's free. Domain Name Servers (DNS) translate site names, such as pcworld.com, into IP addresses that PCs employ to locate one another on the Net.
Most people use their ISP's DNS services by default, and some providers are slow. Switching to OpenDNS has advantages. First, it's faster because it stores requests in a large cache; if you ask for the same IP address that other users have requested, OpenDNS doesn't need to look elsewhere--it has it. Make a typo--say, "netfliks.com"--and you're delivered to the correct site. Not only that, a warning appears if you reach a phishing site.
Setting up OpenDNS is a snap (see the instructions at the OpenDNS site)." -- PC World
