<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We are using OpenDNS and it’s great. It lets you filter categories or block or unblock specific domains. It shows you stats and the paid version allows you
to create one time bypass keys for certain sites as needed. The “sledge-hammer” like approach can be scaled and actually makes it easier as an admin. You don’t have to try and block every single site and if there is a specific site you want to allow it’s easy
enough to do that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Back in May 2012, I looked into OpenDNS as a viable/useful content filter compared to dans guardian. (<a href="http://lists.oplin.org/pipermail/oplintech/2012-May/003567.html">http://lists.oplin.org/pipermail/oplintech/2012-May/003567.html</a>).
I got to thinking about it again today for no particular reason and started wondering if anyone is using OpenDNS in their library and if it was working decently for them...if they're happy with it, despite its rather sledge-hammer like DNS block approach seemingly
limiting its usefulness.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, does anyone know if/where I might find stats on exactly how many libraries are actually using it under the OPLIN contract?<o:p></o:p></p>
