Pib Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 You can also use the other Google DNS of 8.8.4.4...maybe best just to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your primary and secondary DNS. But to tell you the truth, I use to use Google DNS years back when on TOT and now on True and found it rarely helped me with any of my internet issues. And when using some of those DNS benchmarking programs it showed me using my ISP's DNS was faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 A handy app is DNS jumper, lets you select from a wide range of DNS to find fastest or you can add your own, its quick and easy,and free. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Personally, I would stay away from any DNS with ping times lower than 200ms. I don't believe in faster than light communication speeds. This issue has been discussed in another thread. Look if up if interested. In any case, most name resolvers cache the entries from DNS queries, Windows excessively so. 200-300ms response from a DNS will not slow down your browsing. It is more important that the servers are always available. I don't fully trust the Google DNS, and use Open DNS servers, 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222. Or to be extra sure that results are correct, fire up my own DNS running on one of my Linux servers and querying the top root servers. That gives sub ms ping times!

SpaceKadet Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There are more than two resolvers on Opendns. The less known are more likely to return the results faster. An these don't give you superluminal ping times. C:\>nslookup 208.67.222.220Name: resolver3.opendns.comAddress: 208.67.222.220C:\>nslookup 208.67.220.222Name: resolver4.opendns.comAddress: 208.67.220.222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
