Re: OpenDNS said by fAcEtIOUs:If you pick the right options(have to be registered user) you can turn OpenDNS servers in to plain vanilla DNS servers that will return a 404 page error. i am a registered user. i have over 35 networks using openDNS, i have never seen that option.
i am not saying it doesnt exist, i was just saying that i didnt think you could change what page loads up when you make a mistake.
openDNS makes money off of those pages, the ads, i dont know why they would allow you to use another landing page when you have a typo in the domain. |

Go to dashboard; settings; advanced settings; and UNCHECK "enable typo correction" and "enable opendns proxy". You will then get the basic error msgs on bad domain names.
P.S.>> after making the change, it takes a few minutes before your new setting are propagated to all the OpenDNS servers.
"Error with those options unchecked" lets Firefox browser handle the error after getting a bad NXDOMAIN response from OpenDNS server: 
No redirection ; normal action on error
And with OpenDNS server redirecting with those options CHECKED, you get this:
redirection on error
