DNS stands for Domain Name System & acts like a translator for IP address which is a websites real address,e.g. if u want to go to YAHOO website, you just type in www.yahoo.com , but its real address is 206.190.60.37 , it would be difficult to remember that set of numbers, Hence DNS .

OpenDNS provides free alternative DNS servers that anyone can use with any internet provider. Unlike many national internet providers, OpenDNS’s DNS servers are very fast and reliable.
