Google Public DNS – Free Global DNS Resolution Service

Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider. It is similar to what OpenDNS Basic is offering.

 

“Google Public DNS is a recursive DNS resolver, similar to other publicly available services. We think it provides many benefits, including improved security, fast performance, and more valid results.” [Google Public DNS]

 

To use Google Public DNS, just change your DNS server addresses to:

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

 

See the Using Google Public DNS page for detailed configuration instructions.

 

I already setup my router to use the Google Public DNS server addresses, and I’m having good results so far.
