I use it as a second layer for content filtering at our school. Whatever missed by our firewall, gets cut by open DNS or vice versa. Can't say anything about malware protection. Perfectly fine with their free account for my purpose. I have also noticed that my firewall works better with public DNS when WAN fail over interface kicks in. With ISP's DNS servers, I have had hick-ups/failures. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Wednesday, March 2, 2016 10:04 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Open DNS in a corporate environment? Hi: Anyone used Open DNS on a business network? Currently our internal DNS servers resolve external queries by just going to the root servers and working from there, but our security guy has it in his head that OpenDNS is a better way to go for some reason. In looking at their web site they do offer some business services that report to block malware by blocking its DNS lookups (until malware writers use IP addresses directly or point to another public DNS server I guess that would work well.) I know quite a few people that use OpenDNS at home and I think it works well, I’m just wondering if its really more secure than just going the route we go today. Thanks.
