Hi...I recently discovered this little great neat application....thanks for providing such.
So i am registered to openDNS and using it...is there any major conflict between openDNS and Hostsman?...should i disable openDNS ? and if i do that will hostsman see any major improvement?
Finally is Hostsman required to be running all the time on system tray to hosts file be enabled?
thanks a lot.

If OpenDNS is your primary server, then your OpenDNS will serve as a fallback to hostsmans HOSTS file. This is perfectly okay. Since in a *normal* setup, your ISP's DNS will be the fallback to hostsmans HOSTS file. So basically you are adding another layer of banned domains :) (which is good)...
