While you are at it, why not try using <a href="http://opendns.com" target="_blank">opendns.com</a>'s DNS service? They filter DNS queries for many porn, gambling, virus laden sites. I am pretty pleased with them , I have ditched using the local ISPs DNS servers<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Sometimes you might actually want the porn^H^H^H^Hvirus laden sites for various reasons :-)<br><br>Anyway, I've also considered switching to other DNS servers, eg. opendns, google
public dns, pacific internet or singnet dns, etc. Conclusion was that
switching would make overall browsing slower, as content distribution
networks based on anycast dns would serve content via non-optimum
network paths (eg, via servers in hong kong or the US instead of servers
within starhub's velocity program in singapore). </div></div>
