How to setup OpenDNS on Linux

Check the OpenDNS webpage for more information of its services. Here, I'll just explain how to configure your network and switch over to the OpenDNS servers.

Use your favorite text editor and open the /etc/resolv.conf file as root and change the nameserver lines to:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220


Now it is needed to flush any cached addresses on the computer. Type this command:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


That will also restart all the networking services.
Check this website to check that you switched. If you get "Oops!" try again. :)
