But the "safety net" for it is gone right about today/tomorrow or something. In classic fashion of waiting until the last minute to start panicking, it is showing up everywhere now.

If a user's DNS was out, then they wouldn't be able to load this site. I wouldn't worry about it.

Besides, OpenDNS is rock steady and everybody should be using it.

I find it fun randomly blocking facebook via my phone whilst my cousin is browsing.

There's nothing wrong with it, as long as it works for you. It's a question of security in regards to what one chooses, but a DNS service is a DNS service is a DNS service.

It is nearly a year old, I believe, but it's being brought back up to the news since anyone who is still infected by the rogue DNS server are being "unplugged" from the Internet, that is until they change it.

I created a guide to help with the issue in case you may be one of the few thousands who didn't get so lucky and got infected. Hope it helps!
