The video does not match the text on the web site. Web says the alternate dns is 208.67.220.220, video shows it as 208.67.222.220.

Which one is the correct one?

The numbers you see in the ‘features’ list were take from OpenDNS website so I guess they are the right ones.

The fumbling around and not being able to find what you know is “supposed to be there” in this video reminds of why I switched to Mac.

A pitiful video, first, and then when you try going to mingvideo.com you get a bunch of go-daddy junk. Does no one research this stuff before putting it out???
