David Szpunar posted about a new Adult Site Blocking service from OpenDNS this morning. This is great news, as that I have had great experience with OpenDNS and so far they have been extremely reliable and responsive. After ScrubIT blocked Google.com, I was hesitant to re-enable them on the church network (especially since we never got a response about what happened).
As David mentions in his post, OpenDNS is using an established content filtering firm, St. Bernard, for their block list. OpenDNS also provides typo correction, anti-phishing, domain blocking, shortcuts, custom error pages and statistics.
I have cutover both the church and my home network, so far it is working well.

Thanks Andrew!
Shoot me an email privately if you wouldn’t mind. I’d like to ask for some feedback on some additional stuff we have going on…
