Don't know any at the moment - but it is mentioned on their website that they do this: http://www.opendns.com/technology/

I just prefer to have that level of control myself, and I *think* that OpenDNS does not conform to certain RFCs because of the way it behaves with non-existent DNS names.

I'm not sure I'm ready to cut costs and jump to TalkTalk just yet, but it is getting very tempting.

Yes, it talks about giving you the tools to decide what to let in, and what to block but doesn't say you must open the toolbox and use them .

Still I'd still like to test it if anyone can suggest any suitable dodgy sites. Please PM if you feel it should not be publicly shown.

You do know that you can opt out of homesafe? (Proof) Along with opting out of homesafe and using an anonymous OpenNIC DNS your TT connection is as good as anything out there

But even if you opt out the data is still intercepted. i did nto think that using a different DNs server mad a difference, I thought Talk Talk home safe used the same sort of Technology that Phorm did, deep packet inspection.

OpenDNS extends DNS (Domain Name System) adding features such as misspelling correction, phishing protection, and optional content filtering. It provides an ad-supported service[1] "showing relevant ads when we [show] search results" and a paid advertisement-free service.

Think that covers what is wrong with it.

But that is what it is all about is content filtering, at least you get a choice.

Indeed. Disgraceful of us not to be paranoid about a specific brand of Chinese hardware to try and protect our own manufacturers and pass it off as some kind of security issue.

Do you serious think that if Huawei are a security 'issue' TP-Link are any different?
