interesting business model to give away some value and monetize the residual searches from URL mistypes. the value prop is overhyped, since phishing sites typically use an IP address rather than a domain name, bypassing DNS completely.

nevertheless, helluva lot better more value than the malware from conduit which monetizes likewise…

The only think is that it is not Hacker or Cracker safe… I use OpenDNS and a couple of times I had problems as some moron registered with OpenDNS and took hold of all the BSNL ip-range so that BSNL users with OpenDNS would be blocked out from sites like TechCrunch, Gmail etc… They should be able to verify ownership of IP range in a better way…

Imagine if he could divert all traffic to his own servers, and he would be able to steal money by impersonating paypal and banks…

Anyways OpenDNS is a better than no DNS at all!
