How to apply DNS to a single network?

[66217]

Adding the Open DNS directions solved the problems I had with slow internet in my house.

The problem is, at my college, this Open DNS directions wrecks the internet, and it becomes painfully slow there. So I have to remove the DNS directions. When I retur home I add them again and so on.

How can I make this directions only to appear when connected to my home network?

Thanks,

I believe you can do this through Network Locations.

Yes. Create two locations: "Home" and "School" each with the settings that work for that location. You can add a toggle to the menu bar for easy switching.

Location, location, location!

Add a location for your home in Network preferences, and use that DNS info in it. Use another location for everywhere else where you just use the (I assume) DHCP-supplied DNS servers.

Thanks. I think it'll work.

Just one thing, I can't find an option for it to display a toggle in the menu bar to switch easily. Where is this option?

When you have more than one location set up, a "Location" menu will appear in the Apple menu, under the "Dock" menu.
