Hi ...
It's OpenDNS, and yes, it's safe.
In fact, there's information in the Apple Support Communities forum > Topic : Manually provided DNS server addresses are higher priority than DHCP's
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, and it's free. This also prevents your ISP from re directing your browsers.
Open System Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK and restart your Mac.
If you don't see any improvements, just delete those addresses from the DNS tab. It's that easy.
