OpenDNS is a good DNS to avoid it when there is no purchased URL. it just takes you to a search page which also usually contains the correct url.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20710907 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:28:12 EDT Re: Good DNS servers other then WOW's! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20710698 JeffM3 : Just a question:
If I mis-type a URL, is it the DNS server that tries to re-direct my service? Like for example, it tries to redirect me to
some kind of advertisement or other type of spam? What DNS servers are good to use that avoids all of this advertistment garbage?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20710698 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:42:45 EDT Re: Good DNS servers other then WOW's! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20684878 The Joker :

Maybe. :o ;)

I happen to run BIND on a Linux box at home works just fine. The upside of this is you can assign DNS names to all your home machines as well. I just configure my router to assign my server instead of WOW's.

You can also run treewalk:

on a windows box if you want.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20684420 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:04:46 EDT Re: Good DNS servers other then WOW's! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20684112 imrf :

I'm in chicago, any chicago DNS servers I can use.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20682828 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:57:12 EDT Re: Good DNS servers other then WOW's! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20682670 usa2k : They work great for me and avoid redirection that should not happen.

There was a Michigan one I tried and one day it looked like it was hacked. Finally, dumping that DNS had me going again. I do not recall its IP.

As stated
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
are safe bets.

(BTW: I would think blocking porn is an excellent restriction.)
