Google Public DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a fundamental component of the internet's infrastructure, serving as a directory that enables your device to perform a DNS lookup each time you visit a website. When dealing with websites that feature intricate functionalities, it is common for multiple DNS lookups to be required before the site is fully operational, which can lead to your device managing hundreds of these requests in a single day. To improve your online experience, consider changing your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers. By selecting Google Public DNS, you ensure that all DNS queries from your client applications are routed through this service. It is essential to understand that Public DNS operates strictly as a name resolver. For users in need of a robust, programmable, authoritative name server built on Google's infrastructure, Google Cloud DNS is a strong option. This service not only supports conventional DNS protocols over UDP or TCP, but it also provides enhanced security and privacy features through DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH). Utilizing these advanced options can lead to a noticeable improvement in your internet browsing speed while allowing you to access your desired content without unnecessary detours.
