This might be of interest, a step in the right direction at least. Soho security still has a long way to go though...

It's a start, So, but for some people it's not enough.

I'm still not sure about Open Dns simply because the service resolves the google.com domain name to its own IP addresses, causing all of one's Google traffic to go through OpenDNS servers. Some of the traffic is handled by OpenDNS themselves, the rest is transparently passed through to the intended recipient. This bings up some privacy concerns so swings and roundabouts here, yes its safer but its monitoring you more than maybe you would like.

Although Google monitor you just as much.
