<p>OpenDNS works well because it is not software.&#160; With just a minor change to your home wireless router's DNS numbers you can be protected.   <br />There is NO installation required on computers, iPads, etc. and all devices that connect through your router are protected.&#160; Plus, it's free</p>
<p><i>Note: this is a website blocker but it's not a spam blocker.</i></p>
<p>  <span id="more-734"></span>
<p><i></i></p>
<p><b>How</b></p>
<p>1. Sign up <a href="http://www.opendns.com/home">here</a> for OpenDNS Home.    <br /><a href="http://www.rethinkit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/clip_image0011.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="clip_image001" border="0" alt="clip_image001" src="http://www.rethinkit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/clip_image001_thumb1.jpg" width="138" height="64" /></a></p>
<p>2. Use <a href="https://store.opendns.com/setup/router">these directions</a> to change your router's DNS numbers to these numbers: <b>208.67.222.222</b> and <b>208.67.220.220</b>    <br />(You will need to know your router's admin password.&#160; If you don't know it, it's probably still the default setting from the manufacturer).</p>
<p>(Usually you can browse to <a href="http://192.168.1.1/">http://192.168.1.1</a>&#160; to adjust these settings)    <br /><a href="http://www.rethinkit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/clip_image002.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="clip_image002" border="0" alt="clip_image002" src="http://www.rethinkit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/clip_image002_thumb.jpg" width="244" height="111" /></a></p>
<p>3. Then go to the <b><a href="https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings">OpenDNS Settings</a></b> area to configure the filtering settings you want. (see picture below)</p>
