Comodo DNS Vs OpenDNS

General Discussion (off topic) Anything and everyt
#1

I gave comodo a fair run, About a month or so using Comodo DNS. After that I switched to OpenDNS, I found that it is faster and you could configure filters.

#2

OpenDNS is better.

#3

I don’t know why I’d ever need a filter so Comodo DNS is fine for me. It’s faster than what is offered by my ISP.

#4

If you are interested to find which server could outperform the one you are using How do I test DNS lookup latency with ns_bench? FAQ could be of help.

My results today are:

ns_bench 156.154.70.22 156.154.71.22 156.154.70.25 156.154.71.25 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

I used Secure DNS for a day or 2, then switched to OpenDNS. When Comodo adds configuration options like OpenDNS has, I’ll consider switching back :wink:

#6

Unfortunately, I can’t use either, they’re both way to slow. By the way, if any of you use an IP blocker (PG or PB) in conjunction with the level 1 block list, you won’t be able to use Comodos DNS, unless you edit the list.

Do you just stick with your ISP DNS Quill or ?

#8

I use my ISP’s DNS.
Response Time 0.00

#9

I get slightly faster times with the Comodo servers than with OpenDNS -15ms vs 16

#10

I do. It was pretty poor, but my ISP has been upgrading things recently, so now I have virtually zero latency.

#11

OpenDNS user for quite a long time…
Will try ComodoDNS now.

I’ll post my view later on.
