Windows 11: Change DNS Settings in 2024 ✅ Ultimate Guide
Domain Name System (DNS) is a resolver service that can translate well-known domain names (Google.com) into hard-to-remember IP addresses (172.217.6.238). Usually, you don't have to worry about this because your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides these settings automatically. However, there are many other DNS resolvers on the Internet that are faster, more reliable, and more secure, including Cloudflare, Google, and Cisco.
Although setting up DNS resolvers on your computer or router is straightforward, once you change the settings there is no obvious way to test whether network traffic is going through the servers you configured.
If you switch to Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8, or Cisco OpenDNS 208.67.222.222, you can quickly test your settings in at least three different ways.
