OpenDNS Installed


Those of you (all 5) who use my tunnel may notice improved DNS resolution as I installed OpenDNS routing on ye olde home tunnel. Hopefully the network traffic won't be as ComcASStic, well, as far as DNS requests go.

I'm a bit skeptical this will improve speed as other articles have mentioned. Most of my network woes come from bad packets on the network when I happen to be using a torrent client, which I rarely do during the day (1 2 3) but we'll see.

I mostly did the change because I realized on machine on my network was querying speakeasy.net's DNS still (the old and better isp) and was slightly faster.
