kick up browsing speeds...........


Recommended Posts

I think I'll stick to a local DNS server as the OpenDNS servers are all out there in the US.

The local DNS server is faster then OpenDNS here.

Maybe until more Asia servers are created, I'll try again.

Meh, doesn't make much/any difference to me. In fact, it feels faster now that I've come off it. BUt I must say, my two years using them was interesting, and the other features are certainly good. Guess it depends on our ISP and location.

Do they do any sort of logging of what sites are visited or what your internet connection is used for? It seems like there would probably be those types of issues to think about with OpenDNS.

LMAO, It's not advertising, it's advice. If I were advertising then I'd upload a Picture with me holding giant stars going, USE NOW!

Anyway, that aside.

We'll use Neowin as an example, on my default DNS server Neowin takes 7 seconds to load, on OpenDNS it takes 2 seconds.

You be the judge :p

That would be something else then, DNS is only queried once and it should respond within a few hundred MS at most.

someone before showed me a firefox tweak for squeesing extra speed out of its use

heres the directions of anyone is interested:

1. type about:config in adress bar

2. in the filter bar , type pipelining

3. network.http.pipelining - set the value to ''true''

4. set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests value to 10

5. restart FF

It's limited to 8 in code, setting it higher has no effect.

This is great ive been looking for alternative free dns servers to use with my dns server due to isp having trouble with their dns servers also another thing that really helps me is by having a 10gb cache in isa server 2004
