Re: TW DNS redir
said by purevol  :yes it breaks stuff. for example, smart browsing, if a user types "dslreports" in the URL/location bar within their browser, it comes back with a Roadrunner page opposed to "dslreports.com" - its crappy really. Are you saying that if I type "g" in the address bar (minus the quotation marks) that Fx won't immediately give me a drop down box with "www.google.com" as the top choice?
Will Open DNS give me the drop down choices?
The only way I ever use Google is by typing "g" in the address bar ad then choosing the google address in the drop down box. I certainly wouldn't want to end up every time I wanted to do a search on Google on RR's portal.
I wouldn't see the RR ads because Proxo will filter them.
Edit: Actually, I don't think this redirection would even work if one is using Proxo.
