OpenDNS回来

2007年6月28日 · 由大卫布雷得里

您可以召回我谈论了 OpenDNS是非常容易设定的第三者DNS服务器和比您的ISP的DNS服务器快速地一般运转。 它也有几好处例如“成人”过滤和简单站点阻拦根据各种各样的标准。 万一您想知道，过滤由圣Bernard的iGuard软件完成。

很好，我有坦白做，我从未实际上得到OpenDNS在我的SOHO网络运作。 我得到了它在运作在我的膝上计算机在同事的前提使用ADSL连接。 然而，它niggled我我不可能得到它为我的SOHO运作，因此做了一些开掘对的我发现我的ISP是否莫名其妙地阻拦对第三者DNS的用途。 出来的第一命中参考了我的缆绳ISP (英国的VirginMedia，以前ntl)作为阻拦OpenDNS和其他相关系统。 如此，我与OpenDNS联系并且问他们任何是否可能完成。 他们说他们知道几名用户与有问题的同样ISP，并且建议我也许经历更好与ISP联系直接。

如此，我笠头了我的新闻工作者的帽子并且打电话给ISP的新闻办公室，提及我希望再回顾OpenDNS和必须援引他们的名字如果它结果他们的确阻拦这项服务。 他们得到了回到我在小时之内。 告诉我他们不阻拦第三者DNS服务器，并且它可能简单地是一个技术小故障。 他们请求我的IP地址，我交付地移交，并且他们在几分钟内再得到回到我认为小故障解决。 现在，有服务。 我的联络在VirginMedia也送了对我的询问的一个正式反应，我在提出了 OpenDNS blog，因此在那提防继续采取的行动也是。

如此，我在OpenDNS在我的SOHO运作的心脏言现在能，手，并且没有，当我是在我的商务伙伴的前提用膝上计算机。

然而，当我开掘了更深入DNS，另一议题从那以后出现了。 克里斯托弗Soghoian 对一项据称松驰隐私权政策的表示的关心在OpenDNS。 如此，我再与OpenDNS联系并且要求他们分辨我他们是否打算加强他们的协议，以便他们的用户’个人细节和冲浪的习性不会是开放的到恶习。 They too responded very quickly alerting me to an open comment from OpenDNS CEO David Ulevitch on Soghoian’s post in which he states “We are absolutely, unquestionably and unequivocally uninterested in collecting personally identifiable information on you.” He adds that privacy policy changes are already underway to tighten up data protection for users of OpenDNS, which is very reassuring to know. Of course, if you have read the privacy policy of your ISP you will be tapping in the DNS IP addresses into your router right now and making the switch to OpenDNS.

    I received a personal response from OpenDNS CEO David Ulevitch, which I quote below:

    “Thanks for helping us with NTL, that’s fantastic news. We are absolutely addressing the privacy policy issues. When the policy was first written our lawyers encouraged us to leave some parts a bit vague since we were not yet clear on what we were doing with data. We are clear now and the reality is that our practices are FAR TIGHTER and our philosophies are far more protective of users than what is outlined in the policy. A new privacy policy will be in place to better reflect what our actual practices are (which is to NOT store data or use it to mine information against users). We’re hoping to have it live at the end of the week (and have had this on our radar for some time) but it’s most likely going to go live sometime next week. I think it’s absolutely critical we explain what data we collect and how we use that data to users. Even more important than that is to allow users to manage the data we store. If you don’t want stats and insights into your DNS traffic we should not be keeping any personally identifiable data.”

    I also had a short note from John Roberts
    VP of Product, at OpenDNS, who pointed out that:

    “I can almost guarantee that our privacy policy updates won’t be live [by the time your post appears]. More important to do it right than fast… although our timeline is imminent.”

    Thanks John,

    It does look like the privacy issues highlighted on this post have now been addressed. I note particularly the par:

    “How do we know what’s in your best interests? We don’t…so we give you control over any DNS data we collect. You can tell us to keep it (for the detailed insights and charts) or you can tell us to purge it. You can even tell us not to store it at all. We know that for most of you, keeping logs about your DNS traffic (which, again, we won’t ever sell) provides you a greater experience and quality of service.”

    Good news!

    OpenDNS has updated its block categories system, now much more flexible and includes on-the-fly blocking of specific no-go areas of the web.
