Many Internet surfers now enjoy “High Speed” Internet. However, many find that “High Speed” just isn’t a good description of the type of connection. Oh sure, today’s High Speed connections are faster than dial-up (for the most part), but many people find frustration in waiting for pages to load and videos to finish downloading.

There’s a tool that’s been around for a while that more and more, people are becoming aware of. OpenDNS is a free service that can help speed up your Internet connection while providing free content filtering. Simply follow the instructions to point your home computer or your home wireless (or regular) router to the OpenDNS servers.

Every time you enter a website to visit in your web browser, OpenDNS will route the traffic back to your computer most often much faster than your ISP can do. Create a free account at OpenDNS to enable the content filtering and block specific websites or groups of websites.
