Advanced DNS setup

my router has an option for "Advanced DNS Services" and I was curious what it's for... it looks like a security option to stop phising...

is something like this a good idea to setup and use?

Thanks,

There is a reason in keeping the name and model number of the Router a secret?
 
A screenshot of the page in question might be helpful as well. Without the brand and model of the router or a picture of the page, we can only guess at what the manufacturer might have put there...

As far as I can tell, D-Link routers are the only one offering "Advanced DNS Services". But, as noted, the make/model of your router would help a lot.

D-Link seems to have put some Phishing protection there, using a service from "Best Path Networks", as well as a setup for OpenDNS.
 
maybe it is a cloud based websense add-on.

i know my hp tippingpoint has reputation mode where it has a list of naughty ip's it will block for you.
 
"Advanced DNS is a free security option that provides Anti-Phishing to protect your Internet connection from fraud and navigation improvements such as auto-correction of common URL typos."

Automatically adds 204.194.232.200 as primary DNS and 204.194.234.200 as secondary.

IMHO it is probably is some DLink DNS filtering service like OpenDNS.
