If you aren’t using OpenDNS to protect your small business network, now is the time to take the few minutes to set it up. It is well worth the investment, it is free, and it will protect you from any number of issues in the future. And you might get better browsing performance as a result that your users will thank you for.

David,
Great article. I switched my personal router, as well as my parents to OpenDNS, not for the security benefits, but for the performance. Most residential ISPs have awful DNS response times, especially cable modem service here in in NYC during peak hours of the day. OpenDNS is way faster, and even some friends who come over see the OpenDNS page when they come over and ask how they can do it too.
Making the changes on the router makes every machine protected instantly — a huge plus. But also, since nobody else in the family messes with router settings, it never gets removed.

Hey, cool tips. I’ll buy a glass of beer to the person from that chat who told me to visit your blog 🙂
FANTASTIC!
