DNS servers changed, are they safe to use?

[optiman]

I recently noticed that my Unraid server DNS settings have changed, and I didn't change them.  Not sure if this is part of the standard Unraid install or upgrade now, or something else.  The new DNS servers are:

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

 

After a search, these are listed as Open DNS and they look to be hosted in San Francisco, Ca.

 

I do have a 3rd DNS server listed, 8.8.4.4, which is Google and I had set that one a long time ago.

 

1.  Are the Open DNS servers part of the default for Unraid now?

2. Are they safe to use?

3. From a performance perspective, are they the best choice?

 

Thanks!

Pretty sure Unraid does not change the DNS servers, but those are a good option, and safe to use.

It's a mystery of how I ended up with those DNS settings, as I did not change them.  I didn't even know about Open DNS until I searched for these.

 

Thanks for confirming they are safe and good option.
