OpenDNS also allows for filtering (pishing, porn, etc), but it needs to know the IP address the request is coming from to determine what to filter (it's all configurable). Here's a link to how I solved that problem: http://arkienet.com/blog/2010/01/ubuntu-opendns/ I like the article!

So far it's all good. :o) My ISP just started intercepting “mistyped” URLs for fun and profit, so I just switched over to OpenDNS. So far it’s all good.

OpenDNS is good, but I dont think its that good. I live in the UK and have used several ISP's. Most of them have poor DNS but I always end up using Pipex's DNS servers, even though I'm no longer a customer. Infact, you can usually use any ISP's DNS server! If you're in the UK instead of OpenDNS, try Pipex: Primary 212.103.224.51 Secondary 212.103.224.52 http://www.pipex.net/support/wirelessbroadband/troubleshoot.php Also worth mentioning, on many routers you can telnet into them and change the default DNS address it connects too. This way every computer connected will use the new DNS. This is a good tutorial about changing DNS servers. OpenDNS is good, but I dont think its that good.
