    I don’t need to bother doing that, instead I use OpenDNS DNS addresses in my router instead of using my ISP’s supplied DNS addresses instead since my ISP uses Dynamic static IP’s (IP only changes if I disconnect or get a drop out, which dropouts never really happen).

    Also let’s me see what other people on the Network try to access in regards to sites or content that I blacklist. 🙂
