When using OpenDNS put in a long password that is very complicated. Write the password on a piece of paper and put it somewhere that takes time to get to… it all helps a bit.

For an extra fail-safe only allow your computer to connect to the two OpenDNS IPs for DNS – block connections to all other IPs on port 53 in your router config (usually accessed by going to the address 192.168.0.1 in your web browser). Oh, and use a complex password for the router too.

Hi,
Being also “somewhat” unproductive these days I did a search an did find “ScubIT.com”.
Seem to work just fine.
OpenDNS, ScrubIT, … whatever, as long as it gives us a little time advantage over the “urge” it’s fine by me.
Take care everyone.

I’ve just set openDNS up today and yeah it looks really good. I work from home and need internet access all day, but it goes without saying that I was having some ‘productivity issues’

This could be just what I needed – thanks.

yes i followed the tip and used opendns and it helps a lot. i know i could stop using it whenever i wanted, but i got used to the fact that porn is blocked and am not tempted to seek it out.

i set my router AND my computer network settings to use the opendns name servers. i found that is the best way to get it working 100%
