Do you have a router - or, did you just put it on your pc? I am wondering if
it would work as well if the pc is on a home network via a router? (Not one
of the routers listed - mine is older Linksys)

I don't doubt that it works, but is it faster and safer as they claim?

Round trip to RoadRunner DNS - 15
Round trip to OpenDNS - 47

The last time I checked, they only had 3 DNS servers, 2 on the west coast
and 1 in New York. If you happen to be near one of their servers, I'm sure
it may be comparable to your default servers.

As for safer, the only advantage I can see would be in case of another dns
ddos, as we've seen in the past. Personally, I think a better solution would
be TreeWalk.
