OpenDNS vs Pi-hole

Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re close.

OpenDNS

OpenDNS, owned by Cisco, provides public recursive DNS resolution with phishing protection and optional content filtering for home users, plus the Umbrella cloud security suite that protects businesses from malware, botnets and phishing at the DNS layer.

Pi-hole

Pi-hole is free, open-source software that runs on a Raspberry Pi, Linux machine, VM or Docker container and acts as a DNS sinkhole to block ads and trackers for every device on a home or private network. It includes a web interface, query logs, an optional DHCP server and a REST API.
