Google Public DNS: Speed up Web Browsing

Google has launched a free DNS service called "Google Public DNS" to make your browsing experience faster and secure.

What is DNS?

• The DNS protocol is an important part of the web's infrastructure, serving as the Internet's "phone book". Every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they complete loading. As a result, the average Internet user performs hundreds of DNS lookups each day, that collectively can slow down his or her browsing experience.

How to Use "Google Public DNS"?

• Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers
