I am currently using OpenDNS to control web site access on my home network. I do this by specifying the OpenDNS name servers on my router (a D-Link DIR-655). I also run a utility on my Windows notebook provided by OpenDNS to keep OpenDNS aware of my network IP address, which changes whenever my router is rebooted.
I was wondering if there are any advantages to the way the Netgear and D-Link routers have OpenDNS built into them. I would assume I would no longer have to worry about updating my IP address.
In particular, in my current setup, the restricted web sites can be accessed by an individual client which has its own DNS servers set. Do these routers solve that issue?
Thanks.
