Whether you are configuring a standalone computer (desktop or laptop), a network router, or an internal DNS server, when you set the IP addresses to point to OpenDNS you are instructing the Internet browsers, email systems and other Web applications to use OpenDNS servers to find your intended Internet destination.

Changing your current DNS settings to the OpenDNS servers is a safe, reversible, and beneficial configuration adjustment that will not harm your computer or your network. There is no software being installed and all configurations for security, Web content filtering and personal preferences are made online in your OpenDNS account, not on your computer or network hardware.

You’re welcome to write down the previous settings and revert if need be. You can print out this page and write down your previous DNS settings if desired.
