If you're tired of internet companies redirecting your misspelled domain names to their landing pages full of ads, you might try changing your DNS servers:

    I recently tried moving to a public DNS and it wouldn't work. I tried google's DNS and OpenDNS.... neither worked, so I'm guessing that my ISP is blocking DNS traffic except to their DNS. So I said screw them and got VPN for less than $60 a year. Now I have openDNS AND a secure connection.

    Oh? Which ISP?
