How to set up a mobile device for secure access, anywhere?

I understand that OpenDNS's parental control solutions are based on securing access within the home. I'm wondering if there are options for securing access on a mobile device anywhere that device happens to connect to the internet? If my daughter takes her iPod to her friend's house where the WiFi isn't protected by OpenDNS or another similar solution, or at some public Hot Spot she happens to connect to, unless that particular connection's DNS settings are modified to point to OpenDNS, her device will utilize that local network's DNS settings. So is there some way to modify the devices wireless network profile to always use the OpenDNS servers? Thanks.

Not with your filtering, no. You want the Umbrella service in this case.

Just to note that OpenDNS has nothing to do with securing access, but is for domain-based content filtering.

Umbrella Mobility is what you're looking for: http://www.umbrella.com/products/mobility/

Alternatively, configure the iPod with the OpenDNS FamilyShield resolver addresses:
