Norton Everywhere

Concerning Symantec and VeriSign, this thead may be of interest.

 

No longer in beta, Norton DNS has now been released – see: Faster, Safer Internet with Free Norton DNS.

 

if not returning an NXDOMAIN is "very annoying", you can turn off NXDOMAIN redirection, but you lose wildcards and typographical fixes, etc.

my take (fwiw) they're providing a free service (unless you're using deluxe, in which case you don't get an NXDOMAIN but you also don't have ads) and ad revenue assists them in their mission to provide rock-solid recursive DNS.


at any rate, opendns is significantly faster for me, in my location, than any other "secure DNS" provider available, so i won't be changing.

symantec's norton dns privacy policy says (paraphrasing): hey, we partnered with ask. they may use cookies to track preferences. if you wanna know anything about the data they collect, check out their privacy policy. ask + privacy = oof
