Open DNS

Met Ubuntu heeft dit niet zoveel te maken maar ik heb Open DNS geinstalleerd.
De instructies voor Ubuntu- installatie zijn :

hanks to Daniel Aleksandersen for sharing these instructions.
1. Open a terminal window and type the following:

$ sudo network-admin

Note: Root access is required for this step.
2. Change to the DNS tab and enter the following two addresses in the top of the first field labeled DNS Servers:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

You may leave your ISP's DNS addresses underneath the OpenDNS addressses as backup.

If your settings get revoked after reboots, or after periods of inactivity, you can try this:

$ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.auto
$ sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
# append the following line to the document
prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;
# save and exit
$ sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0

You may be required to change eth0 to your own network device's name if it uses a non-standard name.
Visit http://welcome.opendns.com/ to test your new settings.

You should see the Welcome page from OpenDNS, as shown below.

Troubleshooting

If you see the Oops page, please try two more tests, in case the Welcome page was improperly cached.

1. First, visit our demonstration site internetbadguys.com. If you were successful in switching to OpenDNS, it should be blocked as a phishing site. Otherwise, it will tell you that it's a demonstration site.
2. Second, make a deliberate typo in the TLD, like craigslist.og and see if it resolves to craigslist.org. If you are using OpenDNS, you will be taken to the classifieds site. If you are not, you will get your default browser error page.

Still not working? You may need to restart your web browser and/or router.

Ik blijf de Oops pagina krijgen als ik naar http://welcome.opendns.com/ ga om de nieuwe
instellingen te testen maar de 2 volgende testen werken ok.
