Alternative DNS Servers

[pj_mcgarvey at hotmail.com (PJ McGarvey)]

My home network is setup to use OpenDNS for some time now, and with 3 laptops and 2 iphones in the house using the 
wifi, the speed is great... A little better than my Verizon ISP's performance, but the added security benefit is nice 
too.

 

Now If I could only figure out how to use OpenDNS over 3g on my iphone... as AT&T/3G performance for me (especially 
lately) has been awful - though it probably can't be totally blamed on DNS... AT&T just has their head up their @$$

 

Has anyone experimented with VPN'ing into their home network from their smartphones and tunelling all their data that 
way - thereby benefiting from any add'l security/performance/etc type things on their home network?  Right now the 
iphone only supports pptp/l2tp/ipsec
