OpenDNS in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19447919 en Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:22:36 EDT Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:22:36 EDT Re: OpenDNS http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19454089 fiberguy : I've never heard of a school ending in grade 5 either.

The only two ways I've ever heard of it being broken up was:

Method 1 -
Grade School: 1-6
Jr High / Middle : 7-8
High School: 9-12

Method 2 -
Grade School: 1-6
Jr High / Middle : 7-9
High School: 10-12

And, where I was raised, in Sacramento CA, it's done both ways depending on the school district.

Is it possible to opt out of OpenDNS's redirection?
I just did that. Not that I am planning to use OpenDNS, but I did want to see how it worked. You have to register with them. Registration is free. I don't recall if the option for contact by marketers was "opt in" (you fill in a blank check box), or "opt out" (you clear a pre-checked box); but, so far, I have received no email to the registration email address I used, other than the account setup verification email.

Once I had registered the account, it was just a matter of using the "Dashboard", and clearing two check boxes on the redirection page.

You can just plug their DNS server IP addresses in to your router, or NIC, and they will work, but redirection is on by default, and can only be changes through the "Dashboard" of a registered account.

I wonder what politically-correct mind dreamed up the big change of grade level and name.
I don't think this has anything much to do with political correctness. It has more to do with economics. When a community finds that many of its neighborhood schools are overcrowded, it might decide to build one school for the middle grades instead of expanding all of the neighborhood schools. And then "middle school" becomes a natural name for this new school house. This has happened in enough communities that the name "middle school" has become a commonplace, and is now also used for just that range of grades even when there is no separate school building.

What is middle school? No such thing when I was kid. Would it be the same as junior-high? Also, when I was younger, elementary was up to 6th, and junior-high went to 9th. High school was only 3 years. Funny thing, when I got into high school, it was 4 years, but I joined as a sophomore.

I have Comcast, and I know it is as simple as removing the Static DNS entries from my router. I was just curious if there was a way to opt-out of their redirection. I have registered and it appears it is possible if you disable 'typo correction'. I'll have to wait until I get home to see if it stops redirection. When it comes down to it, redirection doesn't bother me all that much... I hardly ever go to incorrect sites, since everything is bookmarked... Probably the only thing bothers me about it is I like the simplicity of the browser's error page over the bright orangey page of openDNS with search results. Not a huge deal for me.
Choosing that option works as long as you haven't chosen other options like "shortcuts". So, yes you can opt out of Opendns redirection. I did it and it works.

That's easy. Just stop using OpenDNS. And this also opts out of their tracking your internet activity.

There is no need to opt out, if you don't specifically set up your systems to use OpenDNS, your DNS searches will never go to OpenDNS in the first place, they will go to your ISP's DNS servers. That is where you must opt OUT. Unlike the ISP's, where you must pay to subscribe, OpenDNS is free, and the redirection is their only revenue stream. Maybe it was a bad idea on David Ulevitch's part, because it started yet another circus on the internet, but I appreciate what OpenDNS provides, and I hope this doesn't end up hurting David. From what I have seen he works very hard to provide a good service.
