It doesn't just seem off. It is off: it's a major violation and a large part of why I don't use OpenDNS.
When a name doesn't resolve, I want to see my browser's page for a DNS failure. I don't want to see ads.
- wisty 15y agoIt's a free service. Unless your company forces it to use it, OpenDNS is opt-in. As I said, it makes people mad because ISPs effectively force you to use their DNS, and some use it to serve ads. Nobody complains about Google serving ads on their pages, but if your ISP inserted ads through some kind of MITM, it would make people pretty angry.
