Which DNS are you using?

[Jim]

Hi,

I'm not using my DNS provider service ( OI telecom)... Not that DNS is too bad, but when I was using, sometime, I was seeing a poor advisory, with a advertising from the provider....
I don't like a lot this sort of practise.

For a long time, I was using the Google DNS, these are good... but using another Google service... It's centralize all in the same place, it's giving each time more power to Google. It's let me an etical dilema.

For few years now, I'm using OpenDns, it's a good service... there's some features I like...
I was looking this information:

7 Best DNS Servers (Free and Public)

I know the two first... Did you know the others? Is someone using?

Only for curiosity: whick DNS srver are you using?

I'm now balancing between OpenDns and DNS watch

I feel the same way as you do. Google DNS is rocksolid and fast, but as you said, it is another service to fill the hungry mouth of Google for more information about you.

I use mainly OpenDNS, but in some way I get the feeling that OpenDNS is getting more commercial. More info on the OpenDNS businessmodel: https://www.quora.com/How-does-OpenDNS-make-money

I wasn't aware of DNS.Watch yet. I think I will give it a go for a few weeks...

I'm using OpenDNS for the web filtering security options they provide.
