Give Your Parents a Safer Internet

Set up OpenDNS for your parents today

Moms and Dads have the hardest job in the world. They spent years stepping on our LEGOs, lugging around juice boxes and driving us from one play date to the next. Now it's our turn to give back. Set up OpenDNS and give your parents the gift of a safer, faster, smarter and more reliable Internet. At OpenDNS we proudly set-up the service for mom and dad. Meet some of our team and their family members:
 

Ashley

"As a member of our support team here, I know what it takes to provide good service. I set up OpenDNS for my mom because I didn't want her to have to ever make another phone call to her ISP when their DNS goes out."

Allison

"My trusting grandma is nearly 90 and loves to use the Internet to keep up with her grandkids. Setting up OpenDNS for her means she won't get tricked into wiring funds to Nigeria for a sure-thing investment."

Ravi

"My parents are both avid readers and consumers of news. I wanted to make sure they could get the latest and greatest without delay, so I set them up on OpenDNS for lightning-fast Internet."

Lilian

"My parents were always complaining that their local ISP was 'down' but I knew better. One quick switch to OpenDNS and they haven't had any issues since."

Erin

"My grandparents are always traveling so I set-up OpenDNS on my grandpa's iPad to be sure that they had reliable Internet access no matter where their adventures take them."

David

"My parents have always supported the great things we're doing at OpenDNS, and the fact that they use OpenDNS at home and at work is the biggest testament to that."

Lisako

"My grandma is a few oceans away in Japan, but she relies on the Internet to stay connected. With OpenDNS, I know she has fast, secure, and reliable Internet."

Vinny

"I have a much younger brother at home so I set-up OpenDNS Parental Controls for my mom so she doesn't have to worry about him coming across unsavory content on the Web. Since everything is updated automatically in real time, she doesn't have to worry about updating."

Natasha

"As you can tell my mom is quite adventurous. I set up OpenDNS for her so I could make sure she wouldn't get stung by any nasty wide-scale Internet threats while she's exploring the Web."

Justin

"My parents have a very unreliable ISP and speed is a huge issue. I wanted my mom to have fast and reliable Internet access so I just set up OpenDNS."

Brian

"We set-up my parents router with OpenDNS Parental Controls. Now my wife and I feel confident that our kids are safe online when visiting grandma and grandpa."

Maryam

"OpenDNS is opposed to government-imposed Internet censorship and has the policy to prove it. I set up OpenDNS for my parents so that they would be able to freely surf the Web."
