I have never heard OpenDNS is used for hiding IP.
IP hiding (e.g. by anonymizing proxies)
has nothing to do with DNS resolving.

In fact, you can use both.

How would you know? Have you contracted hummysense from his dead beak?

If spending all day means taking two minutes to send an abuse report.

You seem to be under the illusion that getting me killfiled by the numpties
who don't know how to filter x-privat will bother me.

I guess you have to believe that. What with all the time you are putting in
and all.

btw Pooh is a she, and putting waking hours and cat in the same sentence
shows just how little you know about cats.

Hide your IP address from who? Hide your IP address why? Your original
question premise is ambiguous.

Presently you are reading and posting to a usenet group via GG
googlegroups. That is a very bad way to do both because

-1- it is a terrible interface, no threading, no filtering

-2- many people are going to filter out your posts and never see them
because many GG posts are spam or trolls

-3- some people don't like the fact that GG exposes your IP address
and the email address of your posting account

Therefore, if you only want/need to hide your connectivity IP address
and not expose the email address of a google account in your newsgroup
posts, you only need to use a newsreader and a news server which doesn't
expose your IP and which permits you to munge your email address.

If you think you want to visit websites without giving the webserver
your true connectivity IP address, I would wonder why.

If you are simply a privacy buff based on philosophical grounds, you
haven't shown any sign of it.

Sometimes people are looking for one kind of thing or one kind of
privacy and they actually need something else -- such as not openDNS to
hide your IP which is exposed on GG.
