How to make your windows network more secure using www.OpenDNS.org
Well this one is really simple.
On your windows 2003 server go to DNS right click the server go to your forwarders and add the opendns dns servers.
Also go to your root hints tab and remove those. (did you ever check if the default root hints are still valid nah I know, if you use em you should also update them)
Now for all your outgoing lookups the windows server queries the opendns servers.
Why is this safe?
Block the bad sites and whitelist the good.

Web Proxy Blocking
Prevent people on your network from bypassing the access restrictions you put in place. Blocking Web proxies helps ensure your network remains secure.
We provide a (growing) list of Web content filtering categories to block, but sometimes there is a domain you want to make sure is never blocked, even if it's listed in a feed. Have the final say with our Domain Whitelisting feature.
