OpenDNS 101

Don asks "How does using OpenDNS work, and is using it more or less secure than not using it?" We talk DNS, why you might use an alternative like OpenDNS, Google Public DNS, UltraDNS or DynGuide to the DNS server provided by your ISP (speeding up the web, for one, better security for another). And we show you how to use NameBench to see which DNS service should offer you the best performance!
