Ever used OpenDNS?  I ran across it the other day, and I must say, I am impressed.  The servers themselves are swift, and the options are fantastic!  For example, I am a moderator at majorgeeks.com forums, and I set a shortcut to the url as just 'mg' minus quotes.  Type that into any browser and it redirects.  Pretty neat stuff.  It also collects stats about your network activity, and protects against a whole bunch of stuff by filtering it out and denying access.

Best of all, it is free.  https://www.opendns.com/
