Glasnost ISP Test
Posted by Brian Gallutia on Feb 24, 2011
If you’ve ever been downloading torrent files or browsing through YouTube and your speed just doesn’t seem to be as fast as it should be, it is possible that your ISP could be “shaping” your Internet connection by limiting how certain applications download information or handle video and audio streams.
To test your connection, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems have made available their Glasnost test which works by..
..measuring and comparing the performance of different application flows between your host and our measurement servers. The tests can detect traffic shaping in both upstream and downstream directions separately. The tests can also detect whether application flows are shaped based on their port numbers or their packets’ payload.
The Glasnost project is meant to keep your ISP honest and provide transparency between the ISP and the customer. Give it a try today and please share any “ISP wrongdoing” if you come across results that indicate your bandwidth is being throttled.

OpenDNS FamilyShield
Posted by Brian Gallutia on Aug 29, 2010
For the past couple of years, PCS has been configuring our customer’s networking environments to utilize the OpenDNS service 
for both its stability and speed, and now there’s another reason to get on the OpenDNS bandwagon: FamilyShield.
Kids get into all sorts of things they shouldn’t get into online and parents want to protect their kids from what’s “out there.” In June, OpenDNS introduced the FamilyShield service that is..
..the absolute simplest and most straightforward way for parents to protect kids from the bad stuff online.
By configuring your home computers and/or home router with the following FamilyShield DNS numbers:
208.67.222.123
208.67.220.123
…your home network will block pornographic content, including OpenDNS’s “Pornography,” “Tasteless,” and “Sexuality” categories, in addition to proxies and anonymizers (which can render filtering useless). The service also blocks phishing and some malware.
OpenDNS provides instructions on configuring 18 different brands of routers to take advantage of this service. If you would like assistance in securing your home network, please feel free to tap PCS by using our Contact Form on this web site and a technician will be with you shortly.
