MVPS hosts file

Google is from the Dark Side, don't by tricked by their chocolate cookies
But if you want to use it, as far as I know their DNS servers are still only located in the US, so it will only be fast if you're in the US too.

Chocolate does not go well with Boerenkool met worst, but there are some dns response tests available to check this out. From my location the NL (Centre), the major ISP (Ziggo) was the fastests in two tests, Google (NL server) in one, Open DNS ended second and two times third.

Thanks for the interesting link Kees1958.

 

Yeah, thanks for the link and your personal experience with DNS servers.

I decided to stick with OpenDNS, and have Comodo as secondary.


I think Im going to set up PeerBlocker next, then try Proxomitron, after Image.

 

PeerBlock installed.

12 Lists - P2P not installed as it doesnt pertain to users.

 

Uh Oh, its blocking Opera Mail from accessing google mail.

 

Dropped BlueTack Spider list, seems to have solved that issue.

Down to 5 BlueTack lists.
