Configuring OpenDNS

Amahi uses OpenDNS to provide Domain Name System to translate names into IP address.

Doing so, it has the power to filter or block domain names. (web sites).

OpenDNS can also provide statistics about requests on your network.

One needs to create an account with OpenDNS (free) to access all those features.

Go to -> http://www.opendns.com/

Under the setting tab, you can use a preset rules for filtering websites, (Adult website, P2P, drugs) or create your own set of rules, and exceptions.

You can also create shortcut ie; typing "mail" in the url bar, would open your web based email.
