OpenDNS Phases Out Redirection To Guide

First time accepted submitter Jim Efaw (3484) writes "Tired of the OpenDNS Guide surprise from website-unavailable.com when you go to an old link or a typo from some ISPs? Relief is at hand: On June 6, 2014, OpenDNS will stop redirecting dead hostnames to Guide and its ads; the OpenDNS Guide itself will shut down sometime afterwards. OpenDNS nameservers will start returning normal NXDOMAIN and SERVFAIL messages instead. Phishing protection and optional parental controls will still stay in place."

OpenDNS sucks less than everyone else

I like the OpenDNS free service, because compared to everything else out there I know of for doing the same job, they suck less than all other options.

Using my ISPs, or VPNs, Google's, or having to roll my own all suck even more.
