OpenDNS for Network Security

[dannygizzle33]

if i use opendns for home use can i use on just one computer

[elithecomputerguy]

@dannygizzle33 I'm pretty sure that you can do this. I think you have to install an app on the computer.

Great video, thanks so much! Ihave one question though: Won't a virus that is trying to call home try to contact an IP address, rather than a domain name, and thus bypass DNS blocking attempts?

[elithecomputerguy]

@BenBarrettBBB IP Addresses can be tracked down easily by the authorities. By using domain names the hackers can have one pointer, but then have the ability to change what it points to.

Couldn't you still use a proxy server to bypass DNS restrictions all together?

[elithecomputerguy]

@SharingEqualsCaring Yes... or a VPN connection... but that gets into hacking...

@elithecomputerguy

Thanks! Last question (I promise), how does OpenDNS know that your still the owner of that IP? I have a dynamic IP Address and I'm seeing statistics from users that are currently using my old IP (well, it says they are infected with malware).

@SharingEqualsCaring you install a client program on you computer that sends your current ip address to openDNS site 25:45

Just to let you know, there's almost no sound on your right channel.

@stormko Try pulling your stereo jack out a little and it will split the mono channel
