[AccessD] It just goes to show ya

I use different email addresses, and also log into 4 different customers
with 4 different VPN methods.  Would OpenDNS cause an issue with any of
this?  I'm also using Comcast as an ISP - is that OK?

I looked at the OpenDNS site, but I didn't see a good explanation of what it
was actually doing, or even a general description of how it worked.

I don't have my own 'network' - is it helpful without that?

One of the nicest features of opendns is that it will tell you if there are
any dns queries coming from malware on your network.
