    Great Product

    Date: Aug 31 2022

    Summary: Love it and find it mandatory if you want to control what’s accessed online and keep your family safe online.

    Positive: OpenDNS is great for families or individuals who want to block unsavory content on their home network and keep younger members of their family safe while online. Is it perfect? No but it’s better than nothing. They have two free options the “family shield”. You put in the dns addresses in your router and reboot machines and you’re done. The second free product is OpenDNS Family and this can be customized in what you want it to block or or not. You do have to install the DNS Updater on a computer that’s always on so it can send IP Address updates to your account and keep blocking active.

    I’ve used this for years and love it.

    Negative: Sadly, some ISP’s won’t allow you to change your DNS servers and so it can’t be used. This isn’t OpenDNS’s fault but the fault of the ISP.
