Alternative DNS for faster internet

Post by PeteC »

A place to give recommendations if you find one what performs well and faster than your assigned ISP DNS.

Today I started using Cloudshare DNS of 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

No conclusion yet although initially over the past 30 minutes it seems faster than the TOT DNS. Stay tuned for further updates either good or bad.

I’ve always directed my devices to Google’s 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Try the above and see what you think over a week, and read their main website as to the benefits and how their system works. I've only used it for a day and to me pages seem to load more quickly than with TOT or the Google 8.8.8.8. It's hard to measure though. Privacy is a big issue with them.

See https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns ... s-1.1.1.1/ for better details than in the link I first supplied above. Pete :cheers:
