[OPLINTECH] OpenDNS Enterprise

[Chip Kruthoffer]

We have used OpenDNS Enterprise as our DNS provider and filtering source
since late last year, and OpenDNS (free) since 2008 or so. It replaced our
BlueCoat proxy server that acted as a filter.

Very happy with it in general. Contact me off list if you have any
questions. I'm a believer in their service model, but there are a few
compromises you will have to make if you are used to another dedicated
filtering product. The addition of the "block override" function in the
Enterprise version makes it
CIPA<http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/cipa.html>-compliant
now.

I did a TechConnections session about it in 2009:

Subject: [OPLINTECH] OpenDNS for content filtering
Good afternoon,

Is anyone using OpenDNS, particularly the Enterprise version, for content
filtering at your library?  If so I'd like to hear your experiences with
it.  We're currently using St. Bernard iPrism appliances that will soon be
unsupported and need to be replaced.  Based on past conversations on this
list I'm also looking at DansGuardian and several other appliances.

Thanks for your feedback.
