DNS Services
As a new domain tagging moderator at OpenDNS Id like to get a feel for what DNS services people use other than the default from their ISP and why. What features would you like to see improved with your current choice?

Re: DNS Services
My ISP, and sometimes Google DNS.
I may switch to OpenDNS when DNSCrypt leaves the beta stage. |

Re: DNS Services
I use Norton ConnectSafe that is Norton DNS. It's faster than Comodo, Open, Google and my ISP. It's also more secure.

Re: DNS Services
My ISP on my router (it's the fastest and have never had issues with it) and Norton on my notebook (increased security).

Re: DNS Services
From my ISP's I went to OpenDNS.
Then tried many (Comodo,Norton,Google,Clear Cloud + some others) Only to return to OpenDNS.

Re: DNS Services
Every ISP is different,For Example My ISP has safe search which warns of adult sites but does nothing to avoid known malicious sites that maybe malware. In my case Norton DNS is with out a doubt a safer alternative then my default DNS and just as fast if not faster.

Re: DNS Services
Security first: OpenDNS due to DNSCrypt.

Re: DNS Services
I use the two Norton addresses as primary and alternate, with Comodo and Google behind them in case they aren't working.
I use Public DNS Server Tool 0.91 to facilitate that.

I've found no difference in speed either. The main issue is trust. But unless you're using a VPN/proxy, using an alternate DNS is rendered pretty moot anyway in this regard. They can see what you're doing anyway. But if you use a VPN, and don't want anything leaking to your ISP (whom you don't trust), then it makes sense. And it applies in my case. I personally use Comodo Secure DNS. I didn't like seeing them ask for all that personal info. on OpenDNS's site. I don't like that DNSCrypt runs on .NET Framework. And I noticed disconnects since trying out their servers. So it's back to Comodo for me. That and the ones my VPN assigns me.

Trust me though, installing is a pain. I finally managed to and wrote a guide for it (I don't really like linking to my blog, feels like I'm asking for hits lol but it's relevant) and you can see there are quite a few steps. I'm really happy to see this though: Code:
It's impossible to apparmor right now. I need to delay its boot or something first but it runs as a separate user. I'm really glad they took the time to make this internet facing service really secure. edit: I've got apparmor working for it. Had to restart the process with rc.local.

Re: DNS Services
My ISP, simply because it is the fastest.

Re: DNS Services
Have always used my ISP until just recently when I decided to try Norton DNS. so far so good, seems very fast, and hopefully it makes things a little safer.

Re: DNS Services
I used to use OpenDNS, because my ISPs DNS was not 100% reliable (some days would have problems resolving specific websites in a timely fashion). Since I have had a new cable modem seems to be perfect. I may try OpenDNS again when I have time.

Re: DNS Services
Norton DNS since is safer and faster than my ISP. I used FamilyShield before, but it blocks too many legitimate webpages as porno.
