If you are using the Internet, you have everything you need to use OpenDNS and experience a safer, faster, smarter and more reliable Internet. OpenDNS is enabled through a configuration, not an installation.
To use OpenDNS, change the configuration settings on the devices or computers that access or allow access to the Internet, as described by the examples in the following table.
|
If You Configure OpenDNS On:
| The Result Will Be: |
|---|---|
| A standalone computer (laptop or desktop) |
Only that computer will use OpenDNS to find websites. Security and content filtering settings will only apply to that computer.
|
| A network router (WiFi or directly connected) |
All computers and devices that connect to the Internet through this router will use OpenDNS to navigate the Internet. They will all be covered by the same security and content filtering settings, too.
|
| An internal DNS server |
The internal DNS server will use OpenDNS to find websites and all systems on this network will be covered by the same security and content filtering settings.
