New DNS service makes web browsing faster and smarter

OPENDNS, the name of this type of service. In addition to being a domain name server, with promises to help users browse the web faster, smarter, OPENDNS can also combat malicious websites, phishing websites and many other dangers.

This is a website with a form of making money quite 'strange'. Whenever customers use the company's services, type the wrong domain name, first, the system to correct the error will intervene. If the system still doesn't work, then the server will automatically offer a series of websites with domain names similar to the name you just typed as a hint, along with advertisements. The managing company will make money through those advertisements.

This form has also been used by VeriSign in the past but not very successful.

To attract customers, the company has provided a DNS service with faster, safer and smarter promises.

Faster because the server is equipped with large cache, so the response time and processing requirements are faster and better.

Smarter due to being equipped with an error correction system for domain names. For example, you want to go to www.google.com , but you just type www.google.co the error correction system still understands and fixes for you.

Safer is one of the attractions of this DNS. By referring to a secret database built by the company itself, many websites have malicious code, phishing websites have been removed from the battle round.

About installing and using this service is very pleasant. OPENDNS IP is 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 . You can change the server's IP to the default DNS address currently in use. When changing, please note that you must save the old information in case of damage or change your mind. After changing it, go to website http://welcome.opendns.com/ to check.
