DNS is the acronym in English for Domain Name System which is responsible for directing the traffic of the entire Internet. We show you how to navigate faster just by modifying this parameter.

The DNS is responsible for translating the domain names of the pages that you enter in your searches from the browser, such as Computerhoy.com or HobbyConsolas.com, and returns them to the browser translated in the form of the IP of the server on which they host the web, something like 23.256.23.76 or 84.89.210.23.

Therefore, we could say that a DNS server is the "translator" between the searches that people do and the hosting data that the devices need to reach the web pages that you request.

The faster and more efficient the translation service is, the faster you will get to the page. In other words, in general, the faster your browsing will be.

In addition, DNS servers can also be used to restrict traffic to certain websites, so DNS can be a censorship tool in some countries. Just by changing the DNS server that your computer uses, you can bypass these restrictions to, in addition to improving connection speed, improve privacy.

OpenDNS

OpenDNS is one of the biggest names when it comes to free, public DNS servers. It has been in business since 2005 and is now owned by Cisco.

Its free service offers high browsing speed, an uptime close to 100%, and offers blocking of phishing sites and parental control to block browsing of websites with inappropriate content for minors.

The service has a free part, in which you can navigate and use DNS redirection normally, and with an optional paid service that offers monitoring functions and specific blocks to websites that may be interesting to small businesses. and professionals.

Information on how to configure DNS on the computer to start using OpenDNS is provided on the website itself.

Privacy is another important point when using Cloudflare, the company will not use your browsing data to publish ads but will delete any record of your browsing in the next 24 hours.
