DNS Advantage also gives me the best performance, I've tried about all of the others and they are slower than my ISP Cox Cable. It is true that Open DNS has better malware blocking, but it also has false positives. Open DNS blocks some harmless sites. Thanks.
Previously I was using Google DNS definitely much faster in my area. But when I started having troubles updating MBAM, I tried My ISP's / Comodo DNS / OpenDNS / DynDNS. Only OpenDNS made it possble for me to update MBAM. The rest would just go and give me an error in updates. So I'll stay with OpenDNS for the meantime.
I bet that's because OpenDNS has the SmartCache feature. But if the MBAM servers were unreachable by "normal means", I would prefer to wait for them to be completely stabilized.
TreeWalk's. It brings you client DNS protocol working as it has been supposed to always be: doing fast, acurate and up-to-date DNS' resolution with ever no any slowdown! I think this protocol has not been designed to incorporate secure surfing and adblocking, many efficient tools are already available for this. But I seem to be about the only one thinking like that, from what I can read in this board lately...
I use DynDNS. In DynDNS I have my router setup to receive auto IP updates. Within DynDNS control panel I have selected the Block Viruses, Fraudulent Activity and Phishing (Low) Defense strategy. Within blocked categories I have selected anything that hosts the conficker worm, gambling, phishing, spam, spyware, and malware.
Been with DynDNS's new "Internet Guide" for a while now, so far liking it more than OpenDNS. It's malware protection is far superior to OpenDNS's seemingly "non-existent" protection, I can turn on/off invalid domain redirection, they have a category to block advertising, and I can easily update my dynamic IP from my router. Speed difference vs OpenDNS is unnoticeable, though statistics say Dyn is 1ms faster... OpenDNS was already faster than most alternative DNS services for me (except from my ISP's DNS which was the fastest by a few milliseconds) so I'm happy with my move to Dyn. On top of that, it appears to be one of the rare services that have actually implemented DNSSEC, shame I can't change my vote over to DynDNS, but hey OpenDNS is still good.
