Verizon Wireless Blocking OpenDNS Service - Is it Blocking Google Public DNS Too?
Several years ago an odd interaction between my broadband provider’s DNS (Domain Name Service) servers and a recent Mac OS X update left me unable to reliably and quickly use the web. Neither my broadband company nor Apple provided a quick fix. So, I pointed the Mac at OpenDNS’ DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220). That fixed the problem and I continue to point OpenDNS’ free DNS server service. OpenDNS has a reputation for being much more reliable (zero down time) and faster than ISPs like my broadband provider.
OpenDNS claims that Verizon Wireless is blocking the use of OpenDNS’ services.
