Use OpenDNS to improve your Web experience

Tom Wanat - Friday, June 26, 2009
Here's a tip that will improve your Web-browsing and increase your computer security. Switch your DNS to the OpenDNS service. It's free, and there are number of great features:

* All incoming and outgoing traffic is filtered through the OpenDNS secure serversĀ 
* This protects you against phishing sites and malware sites.
* It can filter out objectionable or time-wasting sites
* It can speed up your surfing and help ensure that you can always get through to the sites you want
* Detailed traffic analysis can help pinpoint troublesome trends

We've found the OpenDNS service useful on home networks to help parents filter out undesirable sites, and on office networks where it can help block productivity blockers such as Facebook and Twitter.

To get started just visit the OpenDNS site to create an account. The OpenDNS site has instructions on how to change your network settings.

If Hilltop manages your network, ask us for more information.
